ASSESSMENT STRATEGY

Irrespective of the learning strategy chosen (online or F2F), there will be one assessment at the end of the module consisting of four tasks. The assessment is partially based on hypothetical case scenarios of a registration officer tasked with registering applicants for international protection coming from fictitious countries. The tasks will be based on different components in an applicant’s case file, including parts of the applicant’s statement and/or supporting documents. The assessment is based on multiple-choice questions which will be presented in different forms depending on the task (using the possibility to select one out of four possible answers, selecting the appropriate answer to questions out a drop-down menus and exercises in which the learner is asked to fill in the blanks with expressions provided).
