Assessment of Taught Courses

Assessment of each module is by coursework of various types. The method of assessment for each module has been chosen to relate closely to its stated content and pedagogy. The variety of methods employed allows tutors to assess particular competencies and standards in the most appropriate way.

Each module carries at least one piece of assessed work, although non-assessed work may also be required. The workload required to complete a module has been structured with the working demands of this programme in mind. The workplace focus of the assignment will both feed into and draw on the Trainee's professional experience.

Assessment will be mainly through assignments relating to course work and school-based work that has been required as part of the taught course. Assignments are designed to assess experience, knowledge and practice in the theoretical and pedagogical aspects of the course.

The following grading bands will be used to assess all assignments:

70 - 100	Grade A
60 - 69.99	Grade B
50 - 59.99	Grade C
43 - 49.99	Grade D
40-42.99	Grade E
Below 40	R (resit)

Please note that where there is more than one assessed component in a module, a grade of at least 40 must be achieved in both components in order for the module to be passed overall.
