A range of formative and summative assessment methods will be used which are appropriate to the teaching and learning delivery method, mode of attendance and proposed weighting criteria used for this module, and as reflected within the Scheme and Award specifications. Formative feedback will be provided in a variety of forms, including written feedback on proposed titles, outline assignment plans and full drafts. Feedback may take place via full-class, group and individual tutorials.
A contextualised and approved assessment strategy and schedule will be published to students by award.

For the Anatomy & Physiology in Sport & Exercise module there will be 2 pieces of summative assessed coursework; a time-constrained assessment (90 minutes in duration/ 50% of unit grade) on the structure of the cardiovascular, nervous and endocrine systems (LO3; LO4) and a group presentation lasting 20 minutes (50% of unit grade) on the structure and function of the skeletal and muscular system (LO1; LO2).
All learning outcomes are covered by the two assessment methods: Assessment 1 = LO3 & LO4 and Assessment 2 = LO1 & LO2.

Students must attempt all assessments and achieve an overall pass grade for the module.

Formative feedback will be provided in a variety of forms, including written feedback on proposed titles, outline assignment plans and full drafts. Feedback may take place via full-class, group and individual tutorials.

The taught sessions will follow one of the following lesson formats: Lectures; Seminars; Assessment workshops; E-Learning. E-learning will be conducted via the VLE as additional tasks in independent study time. Student led independant study will be required specifcally for assessment preparation.
