Assessment Strategy

Professional conversation and supporting annotated bibliography.   Learning will be demonstrated in a 15 minute conversation with an academic, clinical or research member of staff with expertise in the area. It is a requirement of the module that an annotated bibliography is submitted prior to your conversation, although this element does not contribute to the final mark awarded.    The conversation will contribute to 100% of the marks awarded for this module. Pass mark is 50%.   This assessment will be marked by academic staff based upon marking criteria which will be made available to you.
