-Portfolios of evidence
-In-class tests
-Lab work
-Case studies
-Examinations, both open and closed book
-Reflective activities where you look back over your experiences, analyse them with the assistance of relevant theory and reflective tools, and learn from the experience
-Online discussions that you have had with your peers, tutors and invited contributors to the programme
-Oral and written reports
