|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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).Lear na: End of module, 1-hour MCQ examination related to Physiology and Pathophysiology of Calcium Homeostasis and Bone Metabolism, to be completed within a 10-day period. | 60 | 600 | 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 the physiology and pathophysiology of calcium homeostasis and bone metabolism. | 0 | 1000 | 20 | No | 40 |
| Asynchronous Assessment | Case study 1 | A concentrated inquiry into a single case or subject. Learna Case-based scenarios and discussion forum related to the physiology and pathophysiology of calcium homeostasis and bone metabolism. | 0 | 2400 | 40 | No | 40 |
