No summative assessments will be undertaken.

Reassessments are normally available for all courses, except those which contribute to the Honours classification. For non-Honours courses, students are offered reassessment in all or any of the components of assessment if the satisfactory (threshold) grade for the overall course is not achieved at the first attempt. This is normally grade D3 for undergraduate students and grade C3 for postgraduate students. Exceptionally it may not be possible to offer reassessment of some coursework items, in which case the mark achieved at the first attempt will be counted towards the final course grade. Any such exceptions for this course are described below. 

■ To introduce students to the skills necessary to develop colour mixing and mark making in landscape painting

■ To introduce students to different methods of paint application and painting techniques

By the end of this course students will be able to:

■ Demonstrate practically a confident and expressive approach to their landscape painting
