Assessment is aligned to the learning outcomes of each module. Students will be assessed through a variety of methods, these may include portfolios of text, images and samples, lab reports, short videos, presentations as well as more traditional essays, reports and occasional exams. Some assessments may be based upon collaboration with peers. This collaboration could be in the development of documents, proposals and/or various forms of visual and textual communication in response to problem-based issues.
In the final year study becomes more self-directed with forms of assessment often being negotiated and agreed with tutors.
