Learning Teaching and Assessment Strategy:

Key lectures will be delivered and immediately followed up by group tutorials in which the opportunity to critically reflect, analyse, synthesise and evaluate lecture content will be given along with transferable skill development. Students' learning will be further facilitated via access to lecture notes on Blackboard. Students can email each other and the module leader as well as having access to an online discussion board on Blackboard. Directed study consists of reading (books, journals, lecture notes) both directed and student determined, accessing on-line teaching and learning resources both internet and intranet including the Learner Development Unit, (Email advice, one to one support, on-line self help, workshops, skill development through the Develop Me Web site ,e.g. academic reading). Directed study also includes preparation for tutorials/workshops or individual tutorials with the module leader plus the production of assessment materials spanning course work.
