Student formative assessment will be based on student attendance of at least eight of the lecture sessions and satisfactory completion of the course essays. For the formative essays, students will be expected to select two of the five stated course outcome tasks and write a 2,000-word essay. Guidance on how to approach the answers will be given during the final lecture session, but the essays (maximum of 2000 words) must be submitted for marking by the end of the semester. This carries 60% of the marks. The summative assessment (40%) will be at the examination made up of MCQs.
