Types of Assessment in the December Exam and Assessment Diet

There are two main types of assessment during the diet:

• Exams: All exams are in-person and invigilated. “Invigilated” means that members of staff will be in the room to ensure that exam conduct rules are adhered to. Exams can be written with pen and paper, or in a computer lab. More information on conduct rules can be found here: https://www.hw.ac.uk/uk/students/studies/examinations/exam-conduct-id-checks.htm.
• Timed Online Coursework (TOC): these can be sat in any location with a good internet connection. They are not invigilated. You will need a suitable place to work on the assessment, good internet connection, and you must allow time to download the paper and to upload your answers."
