Assessment
We use various learning, teaching and assessment methods to make this course as engaging and beneficial as possible. These help you gain the skills, knowledge and competencies you need for a successful career in health and social care. We also support you in developing the values and attitudes essential to good health and social care practice. Learning focuses on the workplace environment. Lectures introduce the course content. To complement these, seminars and group-based activities allow you to explore subjects, policies and practices in greater detail. Tutorials help to clarify your understanding of the topics we cover in lectures and seminars. At the same time, we use case studies, practical scenarios and role-playing to help you apply your newly acquired knowledge and theory to real-life problems. These activities help you gain valuable insights into health and social care practice. You'll also have the chance to develop your practical skills in our clinical skills laboratory. We'll also encourage you to use our extensive online learning resources to support your self-directed learning. In addition, we offer masterclasses with practitioners from the health and social care sector, plus insightful sessions with guest speakers who either provide or use health and social care services. Our assessment methods reflect what you may be required to do in a health and social care setting. For example, we require you to submit written reports, give presentations, develop your practice portfolio, analyse care plans, review relevant literature, analyse complex cases, and discuss managing change. We also expect you to write essays and reflective accounts, take practical and written tests, and play an active part in group discussions. Some assessments contribute to your final module marks, while others help you identify your strengths and weaknesses and where you can seek extra support from course tutors.
