Continuous Assessment detail(s): The student must provide evidence of attendance (e.g. attendance signing sheet or book) and complete a reflective journal comprised of one abstract per seminar attended (e.g. 500 words per seminar) and a critique of each seminar attended. The student�s supervisor/research coordinator is responsible for ensuring that the student has achieved the learning outcomes for the module. The supervisor/research coordinator will gather and retain written evidence that the student has achieved the module�s learning outcomes. The supervisor or research coordinator (as appropriate) confirms the results on the Annual Progression Review Form for note by the Departmental Research Student Progress Committee. The research coordinator or administrator submits results for FM modules for all research students in their department to Graduate Studies by the end of May. Each student may only receive credit for this module once. If the module is incomplete, the student will receive a grade of �did not complete�.
