Coursework and Assessment

The assessment for this course is: Learning Journal; short presentation

The most important element of assessment is that it should enhance your learning. Our methods are designed to increase your confidence and we try very hard to devise ways of assessing you that are enjoyable and suitable for adults with busy lives.
