A skills specific session will be incorporated in this module. These skills session will run as part of the lectures. As part of the plan to support the developing employability skills, two of the most important are attendance and engagement. We will support the students to develop these skills through this module. We will use a range of ways to measure engagement to ensure we fairly capture a picture of a student's participation. This also benefits our initial L4 semester 1 attendance and engagement policy driven by our need for retention to L5. For those students were attendance is reduced by specific personal circumstance we will offer an alternative assessment.
