Assessment
Assessment reflects management practice in the work environment and includes assignments, presentations, reflective portfolios and Personal Development Plans (PDP), all related to management practice in real organisations. There are no formal examinations.
There will be two types of assessment, formative and summative. Summative assessment (which will contribute to the final degree) will include:
* assignments-individual and group, reports, essays, tests and presentations
* portfolio including performative/patchwork text/artefacts and work-based/action learning tools
* group and individual presentations
* learning logbook.
The aim is to maintain flexibility and to employ a wide range of methods.
The summative assessment for the compulsory modules will be adequately spaced out to allow students to plan their work.
Formative assessment will take place during the semester, but the requirements are more flexible and will be less time consuming.
Integration of learning across modules is achieved through integrative assessments such as portfolios.
For those on the work-based and hybrid modes, the work-based learning methodologies/interventions will be drawn upon for completion of the assessment.
Teaching will include a wide range of approaches, including lecture, seminar, video and case studies.
