Business Studies:Single

Assessment

The philosophy of the course calls for concepts to be taught in context. The diversity of the topics, including marketing, human resources, operations, finance, strategy, and globalization, allows for a wide variety of teaching and learning methods to be used. Presentations, debates, and discussions will be used alongside past examination questions for assessment purposes. The assessment is based on four assessment objectives: • Knowledge – understanding theory and relevant terminology • Application – linking the knowledge to relevant case studies and examples • Analysis – developing ideas and explaining issues, using theory and evidence to support the argument • Evaluation – weighing up costs and benefits and drawing conclusions Three 2-hour examinations will be taken at the end of the two-year course. There is a wealth of resources available for free access on the internet and provided by businesses.
