Students will have 2 main assessment points each term, on each level. Formative Assessment. To take place half way in to the academic term. This is a key stage for each student to know how they are progressing with their work. This usually entails a one to one tutorial between tutor and student, to discuss the work achieved so far and to make sure the student understands what is required from them to complete the unit successfully. Summative Assessment. This is the final grading of the final submission handed in by the student. The work is marked by the tutor/s alone and the feedback is compiled and graded within three weeks of submission and returned to the student. The above assessments can be conducted in a number of formats. - One to one, in which feedback can be voice recorded and uploaded for the student. - Students can take notes, or ask other students to attend and offer peer to peer feedback. - Students may present in groups to the cohort, or directly to industry in a classroom setting, depending if the unit is a group project or not. Other assessment methods may include:- - Personal tutorials conducted at each level. - Evaluating research and project development through online resources and tutorials, especially in Level 6 when students are more independent and the work is specific to individuals. - Students have also had to pitch their ideas to industry both remotely and on site. - Students also have the opportunities to discuss and share their work and feedback, in review sessions after they have received their feedback back to the entire cohort.
