Assignment-Based Learning at LCMT London
LCMT London is committed to offering an enriching educational experience that prepares students for the real world. Central to our pedagogical approach is assignment-based learning, an innovative strategy that places emphasis on practical assessments over traditional exams. This method aligns with our goal to equip students with the skills and knowledge needed to excel in their careers.
Unique Assessment Strategy
At LCMT London, we believe that assignments and assessments are critical to the learning process. Completing an assignment offers students the chance to showcase their understanding and application of the course material. Moreover, the feedback received on these assignments is invaluable, providing students with a clear gauge of their achievement relative to the course’s standards and the college’s expectations.
Our unique assessment strategy is designed to maximise the educational benefits of assignment-based learning. By focusing on practical assignments, we encourage students to apply theoretical knowledge to real-world scenarios, enhancing both their learning experience and their employability.
