How will I be assessed?

Assessment and examination are mainly project and assignment based, students are required to do a formal presentation at the end of each unit as a form of assessment in FMDS. Several preliminary presentations may occur as peer-to-peer assessment sessions, where projects are mounted for constructive comments and critique.
