You will find all the relevant guidelines and marking criteria on the Instructions and Resources page on Moodle or in your course-specific Student Handbook. Both of these are available on Moodle and should be your go-to resource if you have any questions about your assignments.
Your tutors are given the same guidelines and marking criteria to assess your work.

Feedback on your work
The purpose of feedback is to help you understand how your marks are derived and to highlight areas for improvement. Throughout your modules, you will receive continuous feedback on your Reflective Journal and comprehensive feedback on your overall performance when your results are released. Formal written or verbal feedback (summative feedback) on your assessed work will be provided when you receive your marks.
