Assessment of students will be through both formative and summative approaches. The formative activities will serve as scaffolding for the summative assessment, providing both feedback and feedforward to improve quality ahead of the summative deadline.

 

Formative assessments will take place at regular intervals throughout the module delivery and will focus on different segments of the materials and of the assessment, with the aim of ensuring full understanding of summative requirements prior to deadline.

Feedback to students on the summative module assessment will provide feedforward for the formative and summative assessment. This will aid students in improving the quality of their submissions as they progress through the programme. Feedforward from both formative and summative assessments will serve as continuous scaffolding for assessment improvement throughout the educational journey.

Formative assessments may include a digital activity such as a Kahoots quiz, reflective task on current progress, writing session in class with supervision and feedback.

This assessment will check students’ wider understanding of the interaction and interdependence of the people, places and processes involved in the tourism industry especially taking into account issues around sustainability, equality and access.
