In-module retrieval refers to a feature of a module’s assessment design whereby if you achieve below 40% in an assessment task at
the first attempt you are given an opportunity of reworking the assessment task

In some cases, it may be stipulated for some modules that you have to do something in order to undertake assessment on a module.
Any assessment where these requirements are not fulfilled will receive a zero mark. Further details can be found later in this
assessment brief

the approach that you will take to developing the physical, emotional and social characteristics of your target
group
