Formative assessment: Students will sit a formative mid-sessional examination in January consisting of a written/computer-based examination to test knowledge, understanding, data interpretation and problem solving skills. Students will have regular formative assessment throughout the unit with questions presented in lectures (e.g. using TurningPoint) and / or available online via Blackboard. Students will receive guidance and feedback on coursework, including eBiolabs and DSE tasks.
Summative assessment: Students will sit an examination at the end of the year consisting of a written/computer-based paper and integrated spot test. These will test knowledge and understanding of material covered in the Animal Health Science 2 elements, as well as interpretation and problem solving skills.
Coursework will include two DSE tasks related to the elements covered, and pre- and post-practical tests in eBiolabs.
The overall unit mark is made up of:
Note: Students will be provided with more information about the DSE tasks in the unit handbook and / or by the unit organiser at the start of the academic year.
Assessments will be mapped to the curriculum and will examine all the intended learning outcomes.

There will be an opportunity to re-sit the examinations during the resit period. A resit opportunity for eBioLabs tasks will be provided.
