Assessment Criteria
| Assessment Category | Assessment Type | Description | Duration | Word Count | Weight (%) | Best of? | Pass Mark |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Synchronous Online Assessment | Time-constrained assessment (Online) 1 | Assessment to be completed in a specific timescale, which is neither an invigilated examination nor a piece of coursework. To be completed over an extended period (e.g. a 2-hour task to be completed within 48 hours, or a 24-hour assessment). Learna: End of module 1-hour Case-based Multiple-choice Examination related to Anatomy, Physiology and Psychology of Sport and Exercise to be completed within a 10-day period. | 60 | N/A | 30 | No | 40 |
| Asynchronous Assessment | Self Reflective Assessment 1 | A personal record of a student’s learning experiences. It requires students to record and reflect upon their observations and responses to situations, which can then be used later to explore and analyse ways of thinking and being in context. Generally involves critical diaries, learning logs and written / visual journals. Learna: Reflective journal. | 0 | 600 | 10 | No | 40 |
| Asynchronous Assessment | Project 1 | A detailed analysis of a topic, involving some original research undertaken by the candidate who makes use of data and/or primary sources. Learna: Completion of an individual/group task related to Anatomy, Physiology and Psychology of Sport and Exercise. | 0 | 1000 | 20 | No | 40 |
| Asynchronous Assessment | Case study 1 | A concentrated inquiry into a single case or subject. Learna: Case-based scenarios and a discussion forum related to Anatomy, Physiology and Psychology of Sport and Exercise. | 0 | 2500 | 40 | No | 40 |
