This program incorporates both formative and summative assessments to support your learning and evaluate your progress. Formative assessments are designed to help you test your understanding and gain feedback, providing an opportunity to improve before the formal assessments take place. These assessments do not count toward your final grade but are essential for your development and overall progression through the course.
Each module typically includes at least one formative assessment, where you will receive constructive feedback from your instructors. These assessments help you deepen your understanding of the material and improve your approach to formal assessments. Engaging with formative assessments is critical, as students who neglect this stage often struggle with advancing through the course and in later academic levels.
Summative assessments occur at the end of each module and are used to determine your final grade. These can include written exams, reports, essays, presentations, and portfolios. The marks awarded for these assessments contribute to your final module grade. Assessment methods are regularly reviewed and updated based on student feedback and external evaluation, ensuring they remain aligned with current academic standards and industry practices.
