The satisfactory completion and submission of a Learning Journal (recording the development of the portfolio) is also a requirement of the module. This must be submitted at the time of the second assessed option essays. The Journal only plays a moderating role in the assessment of your performance. It allows your examiners to understand more of the context and processes which have played a part in the production of your portfolio. The learning journal does not form part of the assessment for this module, but is a module requirement and MUST be submitted. Students who fail to submit the Learning Journal will be awarded a maximum mark of 40 for the module (a bare Pass).
