| Explanatory Text | ||||||||
| The module is assessed using the two components of assessment detailed in the Assessment Plan. The y axis (vertical)represents Component 1 (case study) weighted as major (70%) and the x axis (horizontal) represents Component 2 (poster), weighted as minor (30%). A minimum of Module Grade D is required to pass the module, with some compensation of grade E in C1 or C2 permitted. Non-submission of either component will result in an NS grade. | ||||||||
