Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach:
The module is taught thematically with each lecture providing an opportunity for the students to learn about key issues underlying the valuation of property. The lectures begin by setting out the concept of value and the role of the valuer and the characteristics. With this understanding in place, the five methods of valuation are examined. The tutorials expand on the lecture material and provide opportunities to undertake valuations using the methods studied.


Formative Assessment:
The provision of formative feedback is a key component of the LTA approach underpinning this module. Formative feedback opportunities are built into each tutorial where you will be encouraged to engage with and reflect upon module themes via a series of different learning tasks. These provide opportunities for the module tutor to help with your understanding and interpretation of module topics. This formative feedback is delivered in class time in response to student contributions both individually and collectively. Formative feedback arises via the discussion and analysis of tutorial questions, practical examples/cases and associated reflection on a range of learning tasks

Summative Assessment:
The coursework assessment is an exercise in rent and yield analysis and the investment method of valuation and a supporting market report and valuation on a commercial property.This will assess Learning Outcomes 1-2. A formal exam at the end of the trimesters assesses learning outcomes 1-4
