Description
An EMA can appear very similar to a TMA in many instances, but it is often marked by someone other than your tutor and also commonly assesses a more general understanding of a module. In this sessi...on, we take a look at the key differences between TMAs and EMAs. We also discuss how to demonstrate a holistic understanding by making appropriate links, incorporating overarching themes, and structuring your work to show the marker that you have a clear understanding of the task.
