"assessmentMethods": "Case Study\tA detailed investigation into a specific issue or real life example that allows for deeper understanding of contextual and specific knowledge within football science\nCritical Review\tAn analysis and evaluation of a topic (often a chapter from a book or an article from a journal), which requires the student to understand the material, while analysing and evaluating it using appropriate criteria.\nEssay\tAn assessed piece of writing used to provide feedback to the student to improve their learning and target areas that require further work. \nFormal Examination\tAn examination is an assessment intended to measure a test-taker's knowledge, skill, aptitude, or classification in many topics. An exam may be administered verbally, on paper, on a computer, or in a predetermined area that requires the exam-taker to demonstrate or perform a set of skills. Exams vary in style, rigour and requirements. For example, in a closed book test, an exam taker is usually required to rely upon memory to respond to specific items whereas in an open book test, the exam taker may use one or more supplementary tools such as a reference book or calculator when responding.\n\nHonours Project\tAn in-depth independent study of 7000 words, or equivalent, chosen by the student. This may include a variety of approaches such as a traditional research dissertation or applied work such as consultancy or project work. \nOral Presentation\tA clearly structured, detailed verbal delivery illustrated/supported by a variety of audio-visual aids, which demonstrates knowledge and understanding of a selected topic in football science either as an individual or in small groups. \nOnline Portfolio/Reflective Diary\tA collection of documents created by a person to demonstrate the achievements, learning and skills they have developed. A portfolio may be created via an edublog project, for example as part of the personal development planning/profiling process, as part of the assessment for reflective practice on work based learning projects.\nPoster Presentation\tPresentation of data/information/critical analysis in a visual ‘poster’ format to include brief verbal delivery and defence of questions posed, specific to the information contained within the poster. Assesses knowledge of the topic and effective communication skills.\nPractical Assessment\tAn assessment of the ability to apply knowledge, understanding and skills practically (e.g., collecting data, interviewing skills).\nLaboratory Report\tA report is an analytical piece of work using research to critically review the subject area. A report can also use the support of diagrams, pictures and captions to analyse research.\nResearch Proposal/Honours Project Proposal\tA precise and coherent summary of a proposed research project setting out the central issues to be addressed and the ethical procedures to be followed.\nWebsite Presentation\tStudents deign a professional website and present their area of expertise to a panel.",
