This unit is separated into six modules, each configured to deliver specific competencies to the student. Learning outcomes for each module is continually assessed. A continuous assessment model is utilised which requires students to complete a multiple-choice examination on completion of each of the six modules. Each quiz is worth 10 per cent. These are automatically marked with immediate feedback given to the student in order to develop skills of independent learning by the students. A final 90-minute online examination is administered on completion of Module 6. This examination consists of multiple-choice and short written answer tests worth 40 per cent of the total grade.
Student may be offered supplementary assessment in this unit if they meet the eligibility criteria.
