Summative Assessment
Multiple choice questions; extended matching items questions; objective structured practical/clinical examinations; data handling; essays/reports.
As assessment is cross-curricular (and, therefore, cross-modular) in this programme the list of formative assessment given for MEDI 1013 is applicable. Except for MiC Stream: interim report on progress with Community Placement.
■ Attendance at all activities marked with this symbol will be monitored. Students who fail to attend these activities, or to complete the summative or formative assessment specified above, will be subject to the procedures defined in the University's General Regulation V, and may be required to leave the University
