The module on Population Issues aims to develop students' specialised scholastic and basic research skills in this field. Throughout the course, students are required to demonstrate an adequate level of text comprehension, by engaging with a range of relevant sources to grasp key population problems. Assignments and final assessment papers are designed to assess students' ability to apply theoretical knowledge to practical scenarios, as well as to provide solutions to population-related challenges.

Lecturers model assignments and assessments on the module outcomes, ensuring that students are able to access and critically evaluate a variety of sources. This process encourages students to deepen their understanding of population issues and to develop their analytical and research skills. By working on theoretical and practical assignments, such as case studies, students are able to apply their knowledge to real-world situations and propose solutions to complex problems.

Additionally, students are expected to collaborate in a team environment, demonstrating their ability to work effectively with others to manage projects. This collaborative aspect of the assessment process helps students develop important teamwork and project management skills, which are valuable in both academic and professional settings.

The University's Continuous Assessment System includes a variety of assessment instruments, such as tests, essays, practical reports, project reports, and oral presentations. These assessments are designed to evaluate students' comprehension of course material, their ability to conduct research, and their capacity to apply theoretical concepts to practical situations. By engaging with these assessment events throughout the year, students are able to demonstrate their proficiency in population issues and their readiness to apply their skills in a professional context.
