Assessment Procedures:
A 2 hour closed book multiple choice/short answer exam (ca. 25 questions, accounting 33% to the overall mark)
The exam will cover theoretical aspects of the module. The student passes the exam if ≥ 60% of the questions are answered correctly .An exam mark below 60% but ≥50% can be equalised with a good mark in the assignment (see below) if the overall mark is ≥60%
If the student fails s/he can re-sit (up to 2 times) on a date agreed on with the module coordinator (preferably within 4 weeks after the module).
An assignment (1500-2500 words, accounting 67% to the overall mark).
The assignment assesses the capability of the student to analyse health in all policies approach (e.g. on air pollution) in a real world situation and to translate the content of the module into health in all policy approaches. For the assignment students are asked to select a country or region or city within a country and to:
1. Describe the challenge (e.g. outdoor air pollution) and key health impacts in their chosen setting (10% weight in the assignment’s grading)
2. Identify and describe public policies across sectors that have taken into account the health implications of decisions the challenge (e.g. on outdoor air pollution), any synergies with health and other sectors, as well as policy challenges and opportunities (10% weight in the assignment’s grading)
3. Analyse governmental and non-governmental responses at political/societal level (20% weight in the assignment’s grading)
4. Propose ways to develop if absent or improve if existing the countries response through HIAPs (30% weight in the assignment’s grading) and
5. Identify potential barriers for implementation of the proposed interventions (10% weight in the assignment’s grading)
6. List challenges that the health sector faces in promoting HiAP (10% weight in the assignment’s grading)
7. Identify key leadership roles in the chosen setting for HIAP (10% weight in the assignment’s grading)
Each student will receive an individual feedback on the assignment and a grade using a rubric matrix. Students pass the assignment if they gain 60% or more of the achievable points. An mark below 60% but ≥50% in the assignment can be equalised with a good mark in the written exam (see above) if the overall mark is ≥60%If a student fails the assignment, s/he is allowed to revise and resubmit the assignment considering the comments provided by the marker (resit marks are not capped).
Students receives two grades based on their overall mark, one according to the German (absolute) 6 point decimal grading system (1.0 excellent/sehr gut] – 6.0 not sufficient/ungenügend], pass mark: ≥ 4.0 sufficient/ausreichend] and one according to the (relative) ECTS grading system (A top 10%, B next 25%, C next 39%, D next 25%, E lowest 10%). |
