Course Details – Assessment Method
The assessments for this course are designed for maximum validity in terms of learning outcomes and learning processes, and are specific to the type of subject or module area involved by completion of assignments and problem based examinations in the engineering and related modules throughout the programme. At level 4 and 5, the students’ knowledge and analysis of subject matter will be assessed through graded problem solving techniques. A variety of methods of assessment are utilised appropriate to the learning outcomes of the individual modules. The range of assessments experienced by the students will include formal exams, assignments, continuous assessment, portfolios and design. Student presentations, where they occur, will be used to assess the development of their presentation skills which, in some cases, will be assessed by peer review.
