A minimum of two staff members will form the interview panel and similarly two (other) staff members will observe the group discussion. The reflective writing task is explained by a staff member who has observed the discussion.

You'll be assessed by practical assessments, assignments, briefs, essays, presentations (including group presentations), reports and portfolio building. \n\nAssessments will count towards your module mark and feedback is usually given within 3 weeks following the submission of your formal submission of work.\n\nAdditionally, some lecturers will provide informal feedback, for example, following an examination they may choose to work through the exam paper in a tutorial. It should be noted that feedback is part of the ongoing learning cycle which is not limited to written feedback. Other forms of feedback include one-to-one meetings with a personal tutor, dissertation and project supervision meetings, a lecturer responding to learner questions or responses during topic or situation discussions. \n\nFeedback is intended to help you learn and you are encouraged to discuss it with your module tutor.",
