1st Attempt: 1 two-hour written examination (70%) and in-course assessment (30%). The in-course assessment will comprise an assignment based on an essay with a word limit of approximately 2000 words.
Students are required to undertake a multiple choice questionnaire (MCQ) assessment and will receive prompt feedback (within 7 days). The online test is set early in the course to give students early feedback on whether their approach to learning is sensible. In addition to the MCQ, formative feedback will be provided through the assignment, tutorial exercises and the appropriate use of PRS during lectures.
