Course Details – Assessment Method

Assessment consists of a mixture of coursework, presentations, class tests and written exams. Laboratory practicals may be assessed in various forms including reports and quizzes.  Continuous assessment in workshop activities is employed in some modules where active participation in individual and group work may form a major part of the module teaching.  ECDL (European Computer Driving License) is the medium of instruction for the IT training on the module “Essential Maths and ICT”, and it leads to an internationally recognised Certificate. The IT component of the module is delivered online and supported by workshop sessions. To pass the level 3 programme and progress on to your chosen degree programme, all modules must be passed. To pass a module, you must get an overall mark of at least 40%, and achieve a threshold mark of at least 30% in every assessment component.
