Assessment and Feedback Strategy
Summative assessment and rationale for tasks
Students are assessed by an unseen formal examination.
Additional formative assessments –
Students receive formative assessment using e-portal software and e-learning tests and MCQ tests within lectures.
Indication of how students will get feedback and how this will support their learning.
Students receive feedback via the e-learning portal tests and some additional feedback to answers given.
Feedback on formal examination will be given after the examination with a formal session to be assigned.
