In the course all the assessment is formative. The approach is to learn from the contributions of colleagues, from engaging with feedback you receive and giving feedback yourself.

The course offers various forms of feedback to support your learning and help you gauge and foster your own progress. Forms of feedback encompass:

• model answers to activities you engage with in each unit

• your posts on the discussion forum in response to the Application task in each unit

• tutor comments on your forum posts

• your constructive comments on other people’s posts on the discussion forum.
