Formative Assessment:
Students will participate in a variety of formative assessment activities during the taught element of the module. This will enable the module leader and specialist lecturers, to provide timely, constructive and effective feedback. Using formative assessment in such a way fosters effective partnership working with students, ultimately helping to enhance individuals¿ learning experiences.
Examples of formative assessment methods to be used include the completion of quizzes, simulated leadership and management scenarios, group discussions, self-directed tasks and reflective activities.
Much emphasis will be placed on students participating fully in the interactive scenarios. As these aim to examine the affective domain of learning, thus enabling students to explore their personal attitudes and behaviours with regard to leadership and management in a safe learning environment.
