Further details relating to assessment

Formative assessment is built into the module programme through the use of pre-prepared seminars, led by students, which allow for the application of theory and exploration of current issues in financial management. As workshop topics are based on examination themes, these will also allow students to reflect on and consolidate (as well as apply) module content whilst developing confidence and competence in required exam subject material. Small group tutorials allow for the discussion of exam technique and the development of a mark scheme, by students, based on a recent past paper. A full trial (mock) examination is scheduled for week 10.

The use of a terminal unseen examination to cover K1-5 is a requirement of ACCA accreditation of the BA Accounting and Business programme.

Full details of the assessment are contained within the Module Handbook.
