How will you be assessed?
A number of different assessment methods will contribute to your development and will enhance your employability. We consider it essential that comprehensive feedback is provided in due time so it is integrated in your learning process. When group work is required the marks given will be individual following the University of Bedfordshire's regulatory scheme. In some cases different kinds of assessment may be used in combination making sure however that there are no hidden tasks.
The intensive character of this Course's delivery as it is outlined in its Teaching and Learning philosophy is consistent with the needs of today's world for graduates who accumulate knowledge fast and are able to express the outcome of this process in a way that is meaningful and comprehensive. Welcome and induction activities will be followed immediately by a week of intensive direct contact time followed by your own contribution through individual learning will take you to your first assessment point. At the end of your six-week block your final assessment will be due. This will be a demanding but very rewarding experience.
The overall underpinning rationale for an assessment strategy of this course is based on the following quote from QAA section 6 Assessment: ""There are good reasons why forms of assessment vary widely. These include the need to ensure that types of assessment including reassessment test the intended learning outcomes accurately and fairly and are appropriate to the subject being studied the mode of learning and to the students taking the module or programme"".
The assessments for this course will enable students to engage in reflection as part of independent learning providing them with both the confidence and emerging skills to react to the feedback provided to them to monitor and improve their future performance.
