Assessment

What Modules Are Available?

Oral Exams (Viva Voce)

• Online interview (exam) – MS Teams
• Camera on, recorded
• Closed-book exam.
• We need to be able to see your eyes.
• If the examiner is concerned you are reading from a screen, you will be asked to redo the assessment with in-person invigilation
• 5 questions from the study guide – random selection
• Graded on depth of understanding and use of appropriate examples – not just memorising study guide content
• Spoken communication skills (e.g. interview skills)

Each question /10

Example

Sheep welfare – use of pain relief for husbandry procedures

Strategy

• The modules you complete won’t appear on your academic record/transcript
• You cannot retake an oral exam
• You can’t ask for an alternative question.
• Giving excess additional information won’t get you more marks. We will mark the first item of supporting/additional information you give in your answer.
• Don’t try to memorise an answer word for word. We just need the correct content in the answer.
• Don’t worry about the pronunciation of scientific terms
• Don’t leave all your assessments till the final weeks. The final weeks will be busy, so don’t expect the flexibility to change the assessment
• You will not get an extension because of poor time-management (only with reliable medical information or a recommendation from the Equity office)

Booking Oral Exam Assessment

• Online unit booking sheet
• Which 3 weeks you choose is up to you, but the day and time in that week has to be organised with the examiner
• Don’t book until you are ready.
• Select the module you want to be assessed - only one module to be assessed at a time.
• Staff will contact you after bookings close at 4 pm Thursday to organise a date and time for the assessment in the FOLLOWING week.
• Check your email for the calendar invitation
• When you receive a Teams meeting request, “accept” it (or propose a new time) so the timeslot and link are in your calendar

Reflective Report

• The reflective report provides a critical self-reflection based on your overall learning experience.
• Reflective writing involves looking back on your experiences, analysing what happened, evaluating what worked or didn’t, and considering how you will apply your learning in the future.
