Assessment Strategy

-threshold -- Basic understanding of the facts and principles specific to the topics covered in this module. - Basic ability in applying what is learned to common practice scenarios. - Basic understanding of professional accountability issues.Students will be required to achieve a minimum of D- grade in the assignment to in order to pass the theory component of the module.

-good -- Good understanding of the facts and principles specific to the topics covered in this module. - Good ability in applying what is learned to a range of common and less common practice scenarios. - Good understanding of professional accountability issues. This equates to a minimum mark of Grade B- in the Grading Criteria.

-excellent -- Very good understanding of the facts and principles specific to the topics covered in this module and evidence of additional evidence gained by the student. - Very good ability in applying what is learned to a range of common, less common and uniquely specific practice scenarios. - Very good understanding of professional accountability issues. This equates to a minimum mark of Grade A- in the Grading Criteria.
