Some of this has to be in a form that can be shown to external examiners so that we can be absolutely sure that standards are met across all courses and subjects. Assessed work will include the writing of Java programs. During the course, you will be given assignments to be submitted to the course tutor. At the end of the course, there will be a class test. The most important element of assessment is that it should enhance your learning. Our methods are designed to increase your confidence and we try very hard to devise ways of assessing you that are enjoyable and suitable for adults with busy lives.
