L7UD MSc Environmental Economics and Climate Change

two academic references

All taught courses are required to include formative coursework which is unassessed. It's designed to help prepare you for summative assessment which counts towards the course mark and to the degree award. LSE uses a range of formative assessment, such as essays, problem sets, case studies, reports, quizzes, mock exams and many others. Summative assessment will be a combination of unseen examinations and research essays. You'll also have the opportunity to develop a dissertation on a topic within the fields of environmental, resource or climate change economics. This will allow you to pursue a research question of interest to you in depth, using the analytical tools and techniques covered in the course. You'll work on your own on the dissertation, with advice from a supervisor. An indication of the formative coursework and summative assessment for each course can be found in the relevant course guide .
