Teaching & Assessment
The assessment is a 15-minute Presentation and oral summary.
This module will be delivered via a ‘blended learning’ approach. Directed study tasks, which may include activities such as recorded lectures, discussion forums, quizzes, case studies, group tasks, key readings, reflective activities or other appropriate learning activity, will be made available on the Virtual Learning Environment on a weekly basis. The Flipped classroom approach will be utilised as far as possible to maximise the learning opportunities during synchronous sessions. Timetabled ‘live’ seminars/ sessions may be held (either in a physical classroom or via an online platform), in order to facilitate discussion and debate and support students to progress with their learning. These will be recorded when appropriate and made available on the VLE, encouraging deep learning by enabling content to be revisited and reflected on at a time suitable for the student.
