Evidence Guide
Internal Assessment 100%
The assessment of this module is holistic in nature and requires assessing on
the integration of skills and knowledge. To be successful in this module, the
student must show evidence of achievement of the module purpose. This approach
enables the assessment to be carried out by different means to achieve a
holistic outcome.
The assessment scheme is generally designed to ensure that critical knowledge
and skills are assessed more than once in a variety of ways throughout the
module’s assessment events. This provides a valid assessment of the
student’s abilities and avoids misrepresentation of failures caused by single
cases of poor performance.
Assessment methods include:
- written test with essay type questions, requiring sketches
illustrating Mollier Diagrams
- written report following practical work in the laboratory
- ship visists
