Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach:
Learning & teaching methods
Students will be encouraged to develop a critical understanding of property valuation. They will undertake exercises that expose the limitations and shortcomings of traditional and contemporary valuation models and both the methodological and technical issues which need to be overcome for the property market to be efficient. In reviewing the research that has been undertaken to overcome such shortcomings, the module will examine contemporary property pricing models, risk, return and diversification and emerging property valuation issues, such as sustainability in valuation, valuation of newly developing sectors such as Built to Rent and the private residential rental sector. Student led seminars will explore key issues in the module.
Embedding of employability/ PDP/ scholarship skills
The module shall assess the standards of communication, creativity and problem solving skills needed to answer such questions relating to the limitations of conventional valuation and the role of contemporary pricing models required by the students to demonstrate such competency. These are fundamental skills required by employers in the management of commercial property.
Research/ teaching linkages
Close links are maintained with the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and industry. This includes reference to research papers and guest lecturing from practitioners.
15b Formative Assessment

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
