Assessment
Each module uses a variety of assessment techniques. These can vary from Exams, Case Study Analysis, Presentations, Reports, MCQ Tests, to visual presentations (such as developing a video). Usually, each module will have two different types of assessment, and will not exceed 3 assessments per module. Often, modules will have formative assessment. This is assessment that is used for feedback purpose only and is not counted towards your final grade.
Grading
- 70% + is an A grade or a 1st
- 60 – 70 % is a B grade or a 2.1
- 50 – 60 % is a C grade or a 2.2
- 40 – 50 % is a D grade or a 3rd
- A pass is awarded for achieving 40% on a module. If a student fails a module, then he/she may resit, however the grade is capped at 50%. A student needs to get at least 30% in each component of the assessments as well as an overall 40% to pass a module.
Resits
Students will be allowed to resit a module that they have failed. If a student fails the resit, then he/she must re-register for the full module and retake the module from start.
