Students at this level can, with a good degree of accuracy, assess their own development needs using simple reflection techniques with respect to one land based activity in which the rope is used. In text citations and reference list formatting is to departmental guidelines with some errors or omissions.

threshold

To be awarded a pass mark D- students must be able to demonstrate, that they can sometimes contribute positively, at a basic level, to their group’s experience during participation in a range of land based activities. At threshold level students can perform a rudimentary assessment of their own development needs in respect of one land-based activity in which the rope is used. In text citations and reference list formatting is not to departmental guidelines with multiple errors or omissions.

NB. Practical sessions are compulsory. If they are missed without mitigating circumstances then you may fail the module.

Learning outcomes
