Assessment

French

Our assessment methods include:

• written examinations, including translations
• writing for a specific purpose
• essays

Continuous assessment ranges from online grammar tests to group projects, while oral/aural tests are performed throughout the course. Students write a dissertation in their final year.

Marketing

The majority of our classes are assessed by a final, unseen, exam, supplemented by one or more forms of individual and/or group coursework. In some cases, students can obtain an exemption from the exam on achieving a specified mark for their coursework (often in conjunction with satisfying attendance requirements.)

Class assessment methods include business reports, case studies, essays, presentations and learning journalism.

Students normally have one opportunity to be re-assessed for a failed class.
