Formative assessment (Submission by Week 5 in Class)

Formative assessment is non-marked work designed to help you develop your main piece of coursework to an acceptable standard for submission. We expect all students to complete the formative assessment which is an individual interim draft version of selected elements of the summative assessment (maximum 3 sides of A4) handed in as a hard copy during class in session 5 of the module. This work will then be peer reviewed by a fellow student on the module with final comments from the module tutor. You will be asked to review someone else’s work as part of this peer review process. The work will be returned to you in session 7. This interim work will not attract marks but will provide you with valuable feedback on your progress to help you develop your own critiquing skills.

How will we support you with your assessment?
