Assessment scheme
The assessment scheme for this module consists of two summative assessment elements (an essay (70%) and a group presentation (30%) which all will count towards your final mark. These elements are spread over the entire academic year. Marks will be given in accordance to the Middlesex University 20-point assessment scale. If a student fails one summative assessment (mark below 40%), a better mark
might make up for the failed summative assessment element, assumed that the student achieves 40+% overall in the module.
