Assessment Rationale And Relationship

The individual assignment tests the students’ ability to critically evaluate academic theories and link them to practice.

Formative assessment - Students are asked to prepare a short written piece of work applying one advertising related theory each time to a print advertisement of their choice. The seminar convenor then provides individual feedback as well as cohort concluding comments at the end of each session
