Course Details – Assessment Method
Assessment varies depending on the modules you choose, but will usually include a combination of exams and coursework. We understand that all students perform differently according to how they are assessed, which is why we use a combination of assessment methods. These include: exams in the form of multiple choice, short answer, interpretative, problem-based learning and essay questions; and coursework, including phase tests, fieldwork/practical reports, data handling, oral presentations, poster presentations, podcasts, online or real-time group discussions, essays or the evaluation of practical skills. As some of the modules are highly practical, they are assessed by coursework only. For the final year research project, you will be expected to write a literature review and short scientific write-up. Work-based learning placements are assessed through a reflective diary, portfolio and student presentation. Constructive feedback is vital in helping you to identify your strengths as well as the areas where you may need to put in more work. This is normally provided within three weeks of submission and may be via Canvas (our virtual learning environment), face-to-face or in writing.
