The 3 summative assignments are compensatable. The written elements should be spaced out through the year with the two reflective reports due in October and November, memory and learning essay in term 2 with the group presentation being as late as possible in the exam period in June. The first summative assignment has a tight word count in order to assess the skills of writing succinctly, whilst the second has greater scope for writing more deeply and in greater breadth. In line with other modules in year 1 the three summative elements are compensatable. The group presentation is expected to be of a high standard, involving all group members, using multimedia and/or live elements and will not be a simple PowerPoint aided lecture If students do not attend personal tutor meetings, these may be rearranged before the end of the year. Persistent non-attendance will be a barrier to progress. If a student misses the workshops due to illness or other authorised absence, they will be required to submit a written assignment
