Teaching, Learning and Assessment
The methods used to enable outcomes to be achieved and demonstrated are as follows:
Knowledge and skills are gained through a range of teaching and learning approaches that include lectures, workshops, seminars and tutorials depending upon the subject matter and the learning experience and level of study. All modules in the programme emphasise student-centred learning, involving students in task-based activities followed by discussion, feedback and a wider application of the concepts. Theoretical concepts will be applied to practical examples and experiences to enable students to see their relevance. Through PDP students will be encouraged to develop and work towards more personal and professional goals. Work-related learning forms an integral part of the programme and will give students an opportunity to engage with the external environment at each level.
Students will be taught in a range of group sizes with a focus on both individual and group work, to ensure that students gain an understanding and experience of teamwork and working alone. Tutorial support is given on all modules through a variety of processes and support is also offered through the personal tutor system.
The programme uses a range of assessment methods including essays; reports; presentations; portfolios and case studies. There will be a mix of individual and group assessment. Students are encouraged to identify their strengths and weaknesses and set appropriate goals and strategies for achievement.
Guidance and feedback on assessments are provided at modular level. Criteria for assessment accompanies individual assignments. Indicative and essential sources accompany course outlines.
