Bachelor of Science (Honours) Professional Policing Practice | Course Handbook
5. ASSESSMENT 5.1 Types of Assessment The methods of assessment adopted have been chosen to reflect the nature of the assessments expected of those entering the policing profession. There is a mixture of in class tests, practical scenarios, academic written assignments and assessment in the workplace (see 5.9). Assessment is both summative and formative. Formative assessments do not generate a recorded mark but will be used to facilitate learning and give you and your lecturer an idea of your progress. A schedule of the qualification’s summative assessments can be seen below. The months have been inserted as a guide to help you plan, however, exact dates will be provided to you during your induction. Whilst the general structure will be followed, submission dates may sit outside the month indicated.
