Module Content
Outline Syllabus:This module will facilitate the learning process by enabling students to put the theory gained in the first semester modules into practice and work to make decisions on a suitable work derived project simulated to provide the vehicle for this purpose. Within the module itself the following areas will be considered and applied to the project: plans of work, principles of negotiation and decision making, roles and responsibilities, development, sustainable design, cost, programme and legal considerations.
The project task will comprise a presentation on their roles and the decisions they make at each stage of a project demonstrating the need to negotiate within the team in order to achieve the objectives of the project. Initial lectures will be provided to prepare them for the task followed by workshops sessions to support the students in their task. Students will also be offered formative feedback on their work during these sessions.
Additional Information:The central theme of the module is the production of a suitable work derived project
and it is supported by the other modules within the first year programme.
This module has been developed to encapsulate the spirit of PDP.
