How Will I Be Assessed?
You will undertake a variety of assessments during the programme, determined by the modules you select.
Each 20-credit module will be assessed by a 4000-word essay or equivalent. Most modules have at least two different modes of assessment with each weighted pro rata to an equivalent of a 4000-word essay overall. For instance, a 3000-word essay is worth 75% and a 15-minute presentation is worth 25%.
The different modes of assessment include written essays (including short essays and critical review essays), presentations (both individual and in groups), group work, report writing, poster presentations, reflective journals, consultancy reports, reports on statistical analysis and an individual dissertation. The dissertation is worth 60 credits and is 20,000 words maximum.
