Course Details – Assessment Method
As you progress through your course, assessment points throughout the course enable you to practise and demonstrate the learning outcomes with confidence, and receive formative and summative feedback from tutors. Each unit will have one or more assessments appropriate to the learning outcomes. 15-credit units will typically have one assessment. 30-credit units may have two individually weighted assessments. In some units, you may be given an overall holistic grade for the unit rather than for the individual elements of assessed work. The methods of assessment and the submission date(s) will be specified in the Project brief issued at the start of each unit of study. Assessed work is usually submitted in electronic form, and will be graded against the assessment criteria using the University’s grading descriptors. Some assessment is by group work. Part of the work may be assessed through individual or group presentation of the artefact or viva voce question and answer sessions with a panel, as specified in particular project briefs.
