Course Modules

This course offers opportunities to test your knowledge and understanding through informal formative assessments, which are designed to prepare you for formal evaluations. Formative assessments take place before summative assessments and provide valuable feedback to help you refine your skills and gain confidence in the subject matter. While these assessments do not contribute to your final grade, they play a crucial role in academic development and progression.

Each module typically includes at least one formative assessment, allowing you to engage with the material and improve your approach to formal assessments. Students who actively participate in these assessments tend to perform better as they advance through their studies. Neglecting formative assessments can make it more challenging to progress, especially in the later stages of the program.

Summative assessments, which determine final module grades, usually take place toward the end of each module. These may include written examinations, reports, portfolios, essays, and presentations. Assessment methods are reviewed regularly and updated based on student feedback and industry developments to ensure they remain relevant and effective. Additionally, external academic experts provide independent reviews to maintain high academic standards.
