    Shout out to second year Journalism students....

    As the second semester gets rid of Law, Politics and History and focus more on the writing and reporting, does it get rid of exams as well?

    The modules in second semester seem more like they would be continuous assessment rather than have summer exams.

    What are the second semester modules now, the course changes every year? :confused:

    Probably wouldn't have the exact details, they chance year after year.

    Digital media skills will be a project so no exam.
    News editing and news reporting are usually all in-class assessment and maybe one end of year in class test, but not a 'proper' exam.
    Ethics is the same i think, you do two small tests in class throughout the year and do a few small weekly assignments, but none will have a big exam at the end of the year.
