Assessment
The course provides opportunities to test understanding and learning informally through the completion of practice or 'formative' assignments. Each module has one or more formal or 'summative' assessments, which are graded and count towards the overall module grade.
Assessment methods include:
- Presentations both individually and in groups
- Written essays
- Role plays
- Poster presentations
- Accomplishment of core practice outcomes within the work-based learning modules
All of the modules on the FdSc CAMH are mandatory and a typical formal summative assessment pattern for each year of the course is as follows:
Year 1: Role-play, group presentation, essays both observational and reflective. Accomplishment of core practice outcomes within the work-based learning module.
Year 2: Presentations, production of a media item in a group, essays and a report. Oral presentation and poster presentation. Accomplishment of core practice outcomes within the work-based learning module.
