The major component of assessment in this module is an end of module portfolio which is directly based on the seminars throughout the module. This allows module members to gain continuous feedback on the issues central to the portfolio through seminar discussions. In addition, prior to the submission deadline for the portfolio, module members have the opportunity to submit a draft portfolio for review and feedback. Seminar discussions also form the basis of the two other components of assessment (the individual presentation and the group presentation) which take place earlier in the module. This allows module members to gain feedback on presentation topics, which also feed into the portfolio. Prior to the presentations, module members are given the opportunity to receive feedback and advice on presentation plans. After all assessments, students receive detailed written feedback.
