We use a blended learning approach, combining face-to-face sessions with online engagement. You can expect a range of learning and teaching methods, including lectures, workshops, group and individual tutorials, information literacy skills development, and personal development planning (PDP). We'll expect you to devote a significant amount of time to guided independent study. This can include, for example, engaging in general background reading, preparing for seminar activities, working on assignments, and revising for examinations.
Our assessment strategy serves several functions. The obvious and primary function is to evaluate your achievement. However, assessment also helps you organise and develop your learning. We'll provide feedback to help you understand your strengths and weaknesses.
Assessments fall into two general categories: formative and summative. Formative assessments don't contribute to your overall module grade. However, they are integral to a module's learning strategy, so you must complete them. They will be marked, and you'll receive feedback on your level of achievement. Summative assessments, on the other hand, are activities for which the marks will contribute to your overall module grade. You'll also receive feedback on these assessments to see what you've done well and where you can improve.
We employ many different forms of assessment, such as coursework (usually essays), case studies, presentations, examinations and in-class assessments.
The modules listed below may be a mixture of compulsory and optional. You may not have the opportunity to study all the modules shown as part of the course.
Level | Assesment method |
---|---|
Level one | Coursework 91%, Written exams 9% |
Level | Learning activity |
---|---|
Level one | Guided independent study 80%, Scheduled learning and teaching activities 20% |
