Students are assessed largely on their ability to solve the kinds of problems that they are likely to face in the real-world. We are interested in the application of knowledge, and students are assessed in several different ways:
Contribution to online discussion - students discuss concepts and problems on the online discussion boards.
Team assignments - students complete problems and cases where they are required to work as part of a virtual team
Final project - this involves completion of a significant case or problem towards the end of the subject
Final Open-Book Open-Web (OBOW) exam - students are required to complete a problem-based scenario over a period of 24 hours.
