Student Assessment
Description
The assessment of students will be based on a multidimensional approach that combines:
- Practical assessment (50%).
- Written assessment (30%): examinations that test theoretical knowledge around the methods and application of coaching.
- Active participation assessment (20%): assessment based on collaboration, critical thinking and interactive participation in workshops.
This model ensures that students are not only assessed theoretically, but through real-life applications and coaching skills that they will use in their professional careers.
Student Assessment methods
- Written Assignment (Formative)
- Oral Exams (Formative, Summative)
- Presentation of the Fitness Programme for Aerobic Exercise (Formative, Summative)
