Formative Assessment: MB604 Music Event Management
This module has one item of summative assessment – a case study with 100% weighting. In order to ensure appropriate guidance and preparation for candidates, the delivery of this module will incorporate in-class exercises throughout the year to provide formative feedback on the selection, planning and draft sections of the final summative case study.
In this module such formative exercises will consist of:
ì Tutor supervised in-class small group discussions on a candidate’s choice of subject matter for case study
ì Tutor supervised in-class small group discussions on the design and development of each candidate’s case study
ì Tutor supervised in-class pairs’ exercises to evaluate initial case study drafts
This will allow candidates to receive peer feedback on their work, including on the progress of draft versions of the case study. It will also provide the opportunity for tutor interaction via their supervision of in-class group sessions. By such means candidates will have the opportunity to obtain consistent formative developmental feedback on the planning and progress of their summative case study.
Candidates will also be able to interact with each other for additional peer support via the VLE (Moodle), and to book tutorials with the tutor, module leader and course leader for direct feedback on the progress of their coursework
