Measúnú / Assessment
Déanfar measúnú ar bhonn leanúnach. Iarrfar ar na mic léinn r-phunann machnamhach a choinneáil agus beidh orthu uirlisí éagsúla measúnaithe a roghnú: cur i láthair grúpa, blaganna, cás-staidéar, mar shampla. Beidh gach mac léinn ag plé le teagascóir/cóitseálaí mar chuid den obair chúrsa agus roinnfidh siad léargais agus smaointe mar gheall ar an bhfoghlaim phearsanta agus a gcuid machnaimh sna fóraim phlé ar líne.
