Assessments & Assignments

Assessment will be through a range of assignments, reports, presentations, multiple choice questionnaires and examinations. The assessment procedures are designed to ensure that students develop a range of skills and knowledge as outlined under ‘Intended Learning Outcomes’. Full details of assignment and examination requirements will be provided in the Handbook that accompanies each Program.

Assessment for each year of the program will include:

Two written assignments. These assignments will be formally assessed. The marks awarded will contribute one half to the final mark for each year of the program.
A written paper, covering all aspects of the program, will be completed under examination conditions at the end of each year of the program. This paper will contribute one half to the final mark. The exam will consist of Multiple Choice Questions and Short Answer Questions.

All assignments will be marked by the Module Tutor or by the Tutor’s designated deputy. Students will be provided with written feedback on their performance in all assignments within 28 days of the submission date.

Examination marks will be returned within eight week.

The Academic Advisory Board for the program will also have an opportunity to see all written work and will be provided with results of the online tests
