Assessment method

The top-up degree course in Tourism and Hospitality Management makes use of a range of assessment methods to reflect on meeting the College-wide assessment criteria and modular learning outcomes and employability skills. The Dissertation module – with 40 credits – requires students to submit an 8,000-10,000 words thesis based on an independent piece of research in the field of tourism and hospitality management undertaken during the final stage of the course. Summative assessment and feedback: This remain the key assessment method of the course used by the College. Summative assessment consists of a variety of methods by which students’ achievement in learning will be tested against the pre-defined learning outcomes for each module. Some of the modules will be assessed by a single coursework assignment but most of them will have a set of two summative assessment points. All modules will be assessed using the Common Assessment Criteria. All students will have the opportunity to receive one-to-one feedback from module tutor after the assessment. The feedback session will be thorough and will enable the students to identify any deficiencies and areas for improvement or further development. An Employability Skills Tracking sheet maintained during the module delivery will be also discussed during the feedback sessions. Formative assessment and feedback: Formative assessments are useful ways to track students’ progress during the term and this forms an integral part of the course delivery. However, students will not receive any marks or grade for this assessment. At least two sessions of formative assessments are expected for every module, except for the Dissertation Project module where students’ progress will be monitored throughout the process by an assigned supervisor and students have to carry out a number of formative assessments. During the formative assessment process, the tutor and the student will be able to discuss the ongoing progress, deficiencies, and ways to make improvements. All students will receive constructive feedback on their works at different stages. Formative assessment and feedback will help the students in the preparation for summative assessment. The Level 6 modules are designed to enable students to pursue their interests independently and confidently with a reflective content in the assessment. Assessment Methods: Modular assessment methods reflect on the specific Aims and Learning Outcomes. Assignments remains the key methods of assessment and are designed to facilitate learning and how students develop knowledge and competencies along with critically reflective thinking. Some assignments may have more than one method used for assessment purposes. Module guides will have clear explanation on how each module will be assessed. The following are typical assessment methods used in this course:

• CA: Coursework assignment

• CR: Critical Review essays or reports

• PP: Presentations and pitches

• PO: Portfolios of production work

• TH: Dissertation
