Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
This shall comprise a lecture of up to 2 hours with a linked 1-hour tutorial/seminar, held twice per day over a consecutive five day period. The face-to-face teaching delivered in Week 1 shall be supported by independent guided study and underpinned with work-based learning when back in the office completing the assessments specified for the module (Weeks 2-15).A module guide is issued in week one that outlines the topics and core references. Scope is built in for questions / issue prompts for student response allowing for discussion. Each lecture is also supported by tutorial / seminar session. The student input ranges from individual exercise to group tasks with defined output and expectation of presenting to tutor or peers. Specialist lectures are included in the programme.
|
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.
|
The module is assessed by one component, a portfolio of coursework including a poster and professional reports on two topics, for example one to demonstrate a fundamental appreciation of current economic policy as it will influence the construction industry and development activity, and a professional report to demonstrate your understanding of development appraisal techniques and sensitivity analysis.
