Assessment
Each module has two or more formal (summative) assessments which are graded, count towards the overall module grade, and may count towards your final degree classification. Each module also provides opportunities to informally test your progress through the completion of practice (formative) assignments.
There are a variety of assessment formats designed to develop and test your theoretical knowledge of the subject and applied skill set. The precise assessment requirements for an individual student in an academic year will vary according to the mandatory and optional module combination taken, but a typical formal summative assessment pattern for the Human Nutrition single honours course is presented below:
