Description of Module Assessment

1: Unseen Exam weighted 100%
Online open book exam
The paper will be released on KLE at 9am on the morning of the exam. Work will be submitted to Turnitin no later than 5pm on the day of release. Answer 2 questions from 3. Although students have been given significant time to complete this exam script, we expect most students to spend no more than 2 hrs. Answers should be as accurate and concise as possible. All questions will focus on problem solving skills and/or essay based questions which are better suited to online open book exams. For essay-based questions, typical answers would be in the range of 500-750 words per question. We recommend that students do not exceed 750 words per essay-based question as we will be assessing the quality of answer, not the quantity.
