How is work marked when taking an online self study without attendance course?

Question

I am considering taking an online course in fashion/textiles and was wondering how the work i do will be marked. will i have to send photographs of my work to be assessed? I was just wondering, as it seems strange that someone would be able to gain a diploma through a self study course without having their work thoroughly assessed and marked.

Answer 1

Ask the provider to give you more details as to how you will be assessed - all providers should give you this information before you enrol.

Assessment can take many forms, including actual evidence, oberservation, formal testing, questioning (oral & written), discussion, simulation to name but a few.

As previously stated the best person to provide you with the answer is the assessor/provider.

Answer 2

I am working through a distance learning (online) course. Assessment takes place through my online contributions to the forum as well as marking assignments I post to the college.

I presume that yours would be similar, but I would contact them to be certain.

Answer 3

Well, if they don't assess it, then it is a fraud. The courses I have taken are "graded" immediately by the computer before it will let you on to the next step. In the case of a design course, presumably you either have to design on the computer and submit that or scan your designs to submit them electronically.
Why not just ask them?
