Assessment: How to Pass the Course

The activities discussed above will provide you with a measure of self-assessment for your progress through the course. In addition, you will receive a formal assessment of your assignments from your tutor.

By working through the course, you will plan an entire report that you need to write for your work and write substantial parts of it. The topic of the report is up to you. You should have something in mind before you begin the course. You can use the course and the assignments to help you plan, draft, and revise your report. The course assignments are structured so that you can work on your report in separate stages.

At the end of each module, you will submit an assignment to your tutor by uploading it in the assignment section in Moodle. Your tutor will review the assignment and provide detailed written feedback on the quality of your work and give you advice on any areas needing improvement. Your tutor will then upload your assignment with his or her comments in the same place. You can retrieve the comments and check the status of the assignment there.

To complete the course, you must submit all assignments, meeting the performance criteria for each assignment. Your tutor will inform you that you have successfully completed assignments and the course. At that time, you may explore options for further development, including taking individual tutorials.
