Assessment

Assessed assignment answering a set essay question (50%) and an assessed 'editorial' assignment where students write an academic journal-style editorial on any relevant health systems topic of their choice (50%).

Students will be expected to post at least five posts (at least 50 words each) relating to exercises in the module material on the Moodle web-based forums. This requirement is the minimum and we encourage much more active participation, which will benefit learning.
