Below you will find a list of the assessments for each activity (e.g. Units 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3) in the module as well as the assessment for the module as a whole. Each activity has associated with it formative assessments to measure student progress toward individual activity learning outcomes. To assess overall learning in this module, you will find a summative assessment project that integrates the learning outcomes of the module.
Overall Module Assessment
The summative assessment for the module has two parts. The first part is a group presentation where students will develop a presentation describing a proposed land-use change and mitigation strategy from the perspective of a particular stakeholder group. The second part is reflective questions that should be completed individually (Module summative assessment (Microsoft Word 2007 (.docx) 28kB Sep4 16)).
