Assessment across the programme will require students to produce work through a range of genres. This is because as successful practitioners of the discipline, they will need to be able to understand and deconstruct the range of genres used in academic contexts. Assessments will require students to:
- evidence an ability to conduct independent in-depth enquiry within the discipline;
- demonstrate the ability to practically apply breadth and/or depth of knowledge to a complex specialist area;
- draw on a knowledge base and a range of perspectives on an area of study;
- evaluate practices;
- make reasoned contextual judgements whilst understanding the complexity and limitations on judgements made within a contested and emerging knowledge base.
Opportunities for formative feedback and practice of the genres and assessment tasks will be provided throughout and within the teaching materials.
