Assessment |
Type of Assessment | Weighting % | LOs covered | Week due | Length in Hours/Words | Description |
Dissertation | 60 | 2~3~4~5~6 | Week 5 | , WORDS= 10000 | Dissertation (Tri3, Wk5)Students submit a final dissertation in Week 5 of Tri3, and whilst the length of assessment is given as 10k words, the guidance given to students is that this should be between 8k and 12k. Whilst the assessment is solely based on the submitted document, the module team reserve the right to in exceptional cases hold a viva after submission. |
Report | 5 | 1 | Week 5 | , WORDS= 1500 | Research Proposal (Tri2, Wk5)The research proposal should give an outline of the topic to be studied, the methodology to be used and justification for the approach taken. In some respects this is a formative assessment, as this lays the basic groundwork for the actual dissertation, but it is considered by the module team to be of high importance and therefore is formally assessed. |
Oral Presentation | 15 | 2~3~6 | Week 5 | HOURS= 20 minutes | Oral Presentation (Tri3, Wk12)Students give an overview of their honours project and present their main findings. This is at a specially arranged internal conference, and consists of a 20 minute presentation followed by a 10 minute Q&A session, in which students are encouraged to ask questions of their peers. |
Report | 10 | 2~5 | Week 9 | , WORDS= 2000 words | Literature Review (Tri2, Wk9)This is set in week 9 of trimester 2 in order to allow students to reflect upon progress with their honours project. As with the research proposal, this is in many respects a formative assessment, as feedback is given with regards to future direction of the project and in terms of the final dissertation. Again however, the module team views this as an important stage in the progress of the honours project, hence it is formally assessed. |
Report | 10 | 2~5~6 | Week 5 | , WORDS= 2000 words | Short Research Paper (Tri3, Wk5)This should be viewed as an extended abstract in which students demonstrate their ability to present the findings of their honours project in a concise and focused manner. |
