Assessment

评估方式将根据每个模块的学习成果而有所不同，我们设计的评估策略可以满足各种学生的学习风格。我们的目标是不仅培养学生的技术/科学能力，还为您提供机会来培养雇主高度重视的基本“软”技能。这些技能包括创造力、解决问题、团队合作、领导力、沟通能力、适应力、灵活性、创业精神和时间管理。每个模块的评估方式详情在学生手册中列出，该手册在第一年入学时提供给所有学生。

Some modules are assessed solely through project work or written assignments.

其他课程则通过课程作业和期末考试相结合的方式进行评估。课程作业包括现实生活中的食品行业案例研究、“Dragon's Den”风格的视频推介、实践报告、论文、在线测验、辩论、向行业专家小组介绍商业计划以及根据技术简介开发创新食品产品。有些评估是单独完成的，有些则需要您与同学一起组成团队进行合作。
