Applied Sciences

Assessment

You will be assessed mainly by coursework assignments throughout the year. There are three short exams at the end of each year which test your knowledge and application of theory. At the end of the first year, you will do a written practical assessment in class, this will be based on practical work you are familiar with. In the second year this assessment looks at how science is presented in society to different audiences e.g. comparing how science is presented in a newspaper or a scientific journal.
