Formative feedback: will be provided throughout the module through feedback on the self-assessment questions and Case Studies, both of which will have outline solutions developed by the module leader. This will enable you to self-assess your progress and understanding. Appropriate online feedback will be available automatically and immediately the assessment is completed. Reflective Exercises within each unit will also require you to apply the theory to your own experience – your reflections will be captured in an online reflective portfolio which you will be able to review and print off if you wish.
|
Summative assessment: will be provided throughout the module in the form of one component – four elements, namely 1.The End of Unit progress tests - (normally 10 questions at the end of each unit, which will testyour knowledge and understanding of the key concepts within each unit x 10) – 10% of final module mark. 2. An Interactive Exercise (10%). 3. Discussion Board (20%), where you will participate in an onlien discussion with your fellow students. 4. Business Plan (60%), you will be required to create a full business plan based on both desk and field research and create a financial forecast. . Sample assessments will be available together with model answers and marking schemes to facilitate self-assessment of your knowledge and understanding, and identification of areas of weakness to aid your preparation for assessment.
