Assessment: 

Examination:

Module reference sheets may refer to assessment by examination; however the term refers to various forms of time-constrained assessment, from unseen or seen exam papers, fully open book, through open notes to traditional closed book examinations. Assessment by examination therefore includes a variety of assessment methods and may well involve the use of e.g. case-studies and other preliminary investigations. These time-constrained assessments are useful for the assessment of, for example, demonstrating knowledge and understanding in a range of subjects and techniques; skills in solving problems, developing plans, the use of technology as well as quantitative skills. This form of assessment is also useful to provide opportunities to students to demonstrate speed of thought within time constraints.

Each student will receive an examination briefing document.

Assignments:

As with examinations, assignment (coursework) may take various forms including: individual and group work, investigations leading to report submission, essays, oral presentations, portfolios and preparing briefing papers. These are useful forms for the assessment of, for example; learning skills, use of technology, critical thinking, problem solving, developing self, research skills, creativity and communications as well as knowledge and understanding in subject areas across the course.
