Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Lectures are used to explain the topic areas and to demonstrate the calculations needed to prepare tax computations. The tutorials provide valuable time for students to practise taxation computations and narrative questions with a tutor present. Students will be expected to take every opportunity to raise and clear matters of difficulty.Embedding of employability / PDP / scholarship skillsThe material used is aimed at students acquiring the basic taxation knowledge and skills practiced in professional accounting firms and limited company taxation departments to deal with compliance tax matters and also tax planning opportunites.Assessment (formative and summative)Tutorial questions will provide students ongoing formative assessment opportunities. These are designed to encourage students to actively engage in the subject matter and also to enable them to assess their progress before the time of the class test and the final examination. Two summative assessments comprise the final module mark: the first is a class test comprising MCQ questions; the second is a final exam comprising longer computational and narrative style questions. All assessments will be specified open book to reflect the skills practiced in a professional environment. Students are required to purchase the prescribed textbooks.Research / teaching linkagesThe module teaching team includes teaching staff who are professionally qualified in the subject area and have practical professional experience of taxation and staff who have an academic research focus on taxation. This experience is used to develop technical expertise, written communication and numerical skills of students. Study material used is also that which is applicable to professional practice. Equality and Diversity ConsiderationsA study pack will be supplied detailing topic areas with reading references and tutorial questions. Lecture slides and examples will be available via Moodle.
