We don't give students help with
the module assessment. It's supposed to be strictly their own work.
But students need a bit more help. This is not
because they are weak academically. It's because the assessment is a
one-shot process at the end of the module. There are no second
chances. And how well you do often depends crucially on the quality of
your assumptions.
So I think I'm going to have to give out more hints about the assessment
during the module study period. The risk is that students will seize on
the hints like terriers and start thinking that if they follow the
hints to the letter, they are sure to get A grades.
