Child Study, with oral presentation and written submission.

Both assessments must include reference to Teaching and Learning; Curriculum / Assessment; and Education and Social Justice,

As a course requirement, students will be expected to maintain a reflective commentary on their reading and observations. (In extreme cases, to resolve a problem in group assessment, this, a viva or some writing under supervision may be drawn upon as supplementary evidence.)

The two assessments will be separate, and equally weighted. Students will be required to gain a mark of at least 40% on each assessment, in accordance with the common marking scheme.
