Additional Information:
The aim of this module is to provide risk assessment definitions and deliver a critical review of certain well established and recognised qualitative risk assessment tools with respect to their use within the clean energy industry. It also introduces some quantitative techniques (which are the subject of separate, more detailed analysis in dedicated modules).
Assessment is in the form of an essay combined with activities (e.g. exercises, discussions, etc.).
The module is delivered via distance learning:
Lecture (using slides and slide notes) - Online self-study
Tutorial/Activities (exercises and reviews) - Online activities with teacher feedback, and virtual classrooms
Tutor-supported Online - Tutor feedback for activities, virtual classrooms and email support
