Module Additional Assessment Details
An ASSIGMENT length 1800-2400 words weighted at 60%.
A Case Study (1200-1600 words ) based on CLINICAL PRACTICE weighted at 40%.
The case study and assignment will require reflection on research for the module in application to a clinical case study of choice. (LOs 1,2,3,4)
All elements of assessment must be passed.
Additional Assessment Details (include formative feedback / assessment):
Biomechanics suite of modules are normally delivered in seminar style teaching, which involves encouraging students to engage in discussion/ debate. This provides opportunities for constructive feedback which will come from students involvement in informal and formal presentation. The presentations can either involve a group of students or individuals presenting their own case studies. Module staff also provide formative feedback through tutorials and blackboard discussion groups.
