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.
The summative assessment for the Psychological Interventions in Sport module will be one piece of summative assessment (100% weighting of module grade, incorporating LO1, LO2, LO3, and LO4). The modules' assessment will be an individual presentation (20 minutes in duration plus 10 minutes for questions) on planning, implementing and delivering a PST programme.
All learning outcomes (LO1-LO4) are covered by the singular assessment method. Students must complete the assessment in its entirety to achieve an overall pass grade for the module.
