"assessmentMethods": "Assessment will be undertaken through a range of established methodologies at various stages throughout the student learning experience. You will be offered a variety of ways to be assessed in meeting the learning outcomes, however, we also have an alternative assessment policy to make reasonable adjustments for any assessment method that does not meet your learning needs.\n\nThe assessment methods incorporate standard practices through initial, diagnostic, formative and summative stages. Examples of assessment activity includes:\n\nEssays\n\nThe requirements of Level 4 study will include producing essays that assess the learning outcomes. You will be supported with your academic writing through academic tutorials and study skills workshops.\n\nSeminars\n\nDebates and discussions are an engaging way to learn about different positions on key theoretical issues so each module includes a seminar component for you to carry out your own research and engage in debates and discussions about key topics.\n\nReports\n\nYou will need to produce reports for some of your assessments. This assessment method is useful to develop the skills important for professionals working in the sector.\n\nGroup presentations\n\nGroup presentations are aimed at encouraging working with others to meet deadlines so you will work with your peers in completing some assessment tasks.\n\nPeer assessment \n\nEach module will offer you the opportunity to be prepared for your summative assessment. You will complete a range of formative tasks including receiving and providing feedback to other students on some tasks.\n\nWorkplace reflection\n\nIt is crucial that your learning on all modules is linked to the workplace, so some assessments will include using critical reflection to evaluate the relevance of learning outcomes to practice settings.",
