|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Synchronous Online Assessment (Exam) | Online External Examination 1 | A test of knowledge and understanding through questions not known to the candidate prior to the examination. Delivered online and time constrained to normally not more than 3 hours, the examination is set externally (e.g. EASA, ICAEW) and delivery is not managed by Academic Registry or End of module examination related to genome-based reproductive medicine | 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 or Reflective journal | 0 | 1200 | 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 or Completion of an individual/group task related to genome-based reproductive medicine | 0 | 1200 | 20 | No | 40 |
| Asynchronous Assessment | Case study 1 | A concentrated inquiry into a single case or subject or Case-based scenarios and discussion forum related to genome-based reproductive medicine | 0 | 2400 | 40 | No | 40 |
