Formative assessment:
Students will undertake formative individual and group tasks (e.g. creation of
presentations, review of papers) as part of the unit. These tasks will prepare
students for the summative capstone assessment.
Summative Assessment:
An individual summative assessment task (100% of Unit Marks) building on and demonstrating the knowledge and skills developed during the unit. Students must achieve the passmark (40%) in summative assessment. There will be an opportunity to resubmit the summative assessment task (during the resit period) if required.
If this unit has a Resource List, you will normally find a link to it in the Blackboard area for the unit. Sometimes there will be a separate link for each weekly topic.
If you are unable to access a list through Blackboard, you can also find it via the Resource Lists homepage. Search for the list by the unit name or code (e.g. VETS30022).
How much time the unit requires
Each credit equates to 10 hours of total student input. For example a 20 credit unit will take you 200 hours
of study to complete. Your total learning time is made up of contact time, directed learning tasks,
independent learning and assessment activity.
See the Faculty workload statement relating to this unit for more information.
Assessment
The Board of Examiners will consider all cases where students have failed or not completed the assessments required for credit.
The Board considers each student's outcomes across all the units which contribute to each year's programme of study. If you have self-certificated your absence from an
assessment, you will normally be required to complete it the next time it runs (this is usually in the next assessment period).
The Board of Examiners will take into account any extenuating circumstances and operates
within the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes.
