Integrated Assessment:
All assessment will integrate knowledge, skills and attitudes and applied competence.
Formative Assessment:
The scheme of work includes assignments based on the learning material and students are given feedback. The process is continuous and focuses on smaller sections of the work and limited numbers of outcomes.
Summative Assessment:
Examinations, or equivalent assessment such as a research essay or portfolio in order to determine a representative selection of the outcomes practised and assessed in the formative stage. Summative Assessment also tests students' ability to manage and integrate a large body of knowledge to achieve the stated outcomes of a module. |
