Opportunities for Formative Feedback
The two-hour seminars will provide opportunities for students to collaborate on their work and receive feedback in small groups from peers and academic staff. In the two three-hour workshops students will work alongside their external organisation to develop their group projects. It is envisaged that students will use the workshops to present work-in-progress, and gather additional data on their partner organisation. A group tutorial with an academic member of staff will offer the opportunity for additional formative feedback and to provide a formal point to monitor the student/external partner relationship. The first assessment offers the opportunity to collect background information which will be formative for assessment two.Methods of assessment
