Assessment rationale, methods and weightings
An in-module activity is designed to give students a real-life experience of an assessment centre as a candidate. This assessment requires students to reflect on their perspective as a candidate as well as an organisational perspective. They are required to demonstrate an understanding of the ‘assessment centre process’. The
module experience will also enable students to develop and apply analytical skills through carrying out a job analysis, before developing criteria that can be used to design and deliver effective exercises and activities as part of people resourcing exercises. The two-part in module assignment will assess the student’s ability to
reflect and learn from their experiences and the impact this has on them as candidates and as assessors, and to analyse an assessment tool used by organisations on a regular basis.

Students will be assessed in the following manner:

CW1 Assessment Centre Essay (25%): Students participate in a range of practical activities building towards an ‘Assessment Centre’ experience, giving them real life experiences as candidates and as HR professionals designing activities. Activities are timed as if in an AC as well as attending one. These experiences give a rich
tapestry of an AC which forms the essay discussion demonstrating an understanding of the merits of designing and running an AC. Module assessment will be via an individual 1000 word essay discussing the Assessment Centre method from variety of perspectives and demonstrating an understanding of the impact of this method for
a candidate as well as someone who will oversee, administer and use assessment centres for an employer.

CW2 Report (75%): Students will write a critical evaluation of the conceptual underpinnings of a personality tool (eg Type Pro, Big Five or MBTI), and the practical value of such a tool understanding individual differences and developing Talent as part of organisational.
