Assessment (general): The way in which you are
assessed will vary according to the Learning Objectives of each
module. Some modules are assessed solely through project work
or written assignments. Some are assessed through a combination
of coursework and end of semester examinations, while assessment
of others may include a presentation or submission of a portfolio.
Placement-based work is assessed through observation by College tutors
with an input from placement staff. Details of how each module is
assessed are shown in course handbooks which are provided to all
students at the start of the year.
Feedback (general): As you progress through
your course you will receive general and specific feedback about
your work from a variety of sources including lecturers, module
co ordinators, placement tutors, personal tutors and your peers. As a university-level student, you will
be expected to take a greater role in reflecting on this and taking
the initiative in continuously improving the quality of your work.
Feedback may be provided to you in a variety of forms including:
- Formal written comments and marks relating to work that you,
as an individual or as part of a group, have submitted.
- Face to face comment. This may include occasions when you
make use of the lecturers’ advertised “office hours”
to help you to address a specific query.
- Comments or advice from staff in organisations where you are on placement.
- Online or emailed comment.
- General comments or question and answer opportunities at the
end of a lecture, seminar or tutorial.
- Pre-submission advice regarding the standards you should aim
for and common pitfalls to avoid. In some instances, this may
be provided in the form of model answers or exemplars which
you can review in your own time.
- Feedback and outcomes from workshops and practical classes.
- Comment and guidance provided by staff from specialist support
services such as the Writing Centre.
Once you have reviewed your feedback, you are encouraged to identify
and implement improvements to the quality of your work.
