Formative Assessments
Formative Assessment is an assessment which develops your skills in being assessed, allows for you to receive feedback, and prepares you for being assessed. However, it does not count to your final mark.
| Description | Semester | When Set | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Written exercise | 2 | M | N/A |
Assessment Rationale And Relationship
The summative assessment is one unseen exam (90 minutes) at the end of Semester 2, worth 100% of the overall module mark. Students are required to answer two questions from a choice of three. The exam is in essay format.
In the case of an alternative assessment for semester 2 (100% of the module mark) being necessary due to circumstances, the Module Leader will in discussion with the DPD and the University, discuss possible acceptable online alternatives, such as a take home exam delivered online with a set time limit to complete (24 hours or less as deemed appropriate).
The formative assessment is an answer plan to a mock exam question (150 words). Students will receive formative feedback on their answer plans to inform their exam preparation.
