Assessment: In keeping with the spirit of Degree Plus, there is no formal assessment associated with the unit. Students will however be assigned a practical task to carry out under the supervision of the unit tutor. A certificate of attendance and of satisfactory completion of the unit will be provided at the end of the semester.
