A variety of methods of assessment will be used within the programme, including essays and reports, practical projects and practical teaching. Assignments will include opportunities to undertake a piece of action research, to develop your collaborative and teamwork skills and model co-operative approaches to curriculum policies and planning. In the course of each year you must successfully complete a number of assignments, related to individual modules. You cannot pass a module unless you complete the required assessment successfully. In modules with more than one assignment, both elements must be passed both in order to pass the module. Assignments take a variety of forms. Each is designed to assess specified learning outcomes for the module; the overall nature and pattern of assessment is linked to the course learning outcomes.
