The University has some standard types of assessment that we may use in your module: assignments, oral or practical assessments, projects, examinations, dissertations and portfolios. There are many others, but these are the most common.
Most modules usually contain at least two types of assessment: assignments completed during the module known as continuous assessment (see Section 2), and an examination or project at the end (see Section 3). Assessment methods are always being developed and refined within each academic subject, so if the assessment used in your module is not included in this Handbook, you should read all your module information very carefully.
