Teaching Rationale And Relationship
Through a series of online tutorials and weekly activities as well as private study (including directed reading) students will gain a detailed knowledge of the major modalities in treating cancer. Students are encouraged to participate in online collaborative discussions via the discussion boards to help consolidate their understanding of the curricular and learning outcomes and give them the opportunity to discuss the roles and limitations of a variety of cancer treatments using examples and relating the information to their own practice. This includes scenario and case-based learning activities.
Assessment Methods
The format of resits will be determined by the Board of Examiners

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 | Peer-Feedback Blog Activity |
Assessment Rationale And Relationship
The MCQs allow students to apply the knowledge of major modalities in treating cancer when answering specific questions which test their understanding. The essay uses real life scenarios which allow students the opportunity to recognise and devise management plans and critically analyse various treatments in different clinical situations and demonstrate their understanding of the limitations of specific treatments.
The peer-feedback formative activity requires students to engage with the assessment criteria and provide constructive feedback on each other's blog posts. These comments will then act as a feed-forward to the final written summative assessment.
Students who fail the summative assessment overall will be required to re-sit the component they failed. The topic of the re-sit essay will be chosen by Module Leaders.
