| Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Learning & teaching methods including their alignment to LOsLO1-3 Each face-to-face activity uses a wide variety of audio-visual resources, group discussion, case analaysis to develop student engagement. Directed study focuses on development of the concepts covered in the reading materials.Embedding of employability/PDP/scholarship skillsLO1-3 Students take part in developmental exercises so as to better understand their personal skills and attributes and how to develop them to increase their employability. Their PDP is considered an integral part of this development as they are encouraged to reflect on what they have learned in the module and apply it to their personal situation.Assessment (formative and summative)Assessments 1 and 2 provide summative assessment for the module. However, both assessments are designed to give students formative feedback on several aspects of the learning process that can be applied to other learning situations. Assessment 1 aligns to outcomes LO1 and LO2. Assessment 2 aligns to outcomes LO3 and LO4.Research/teaching linkages At several points during the module the students are introduced to relevant research to underpin their learning. Students are also expected to undertake personal research for the assessments, which builds their research skills.Supporting equality and diversityThrough LO1-3 the issues of diversity are considered in the module. Module materials use a mix of examples from different cultural backgrounds to ensure that diversity is effectively dealt with. The module is taken by students from a wide variety of programmes - the module materials recognise this diversity. InternationalisationStudents on the module come from a wide ethnic and cultural mix. The course materials capitalise upon this mix and use examples from many countries to illustrate the learning process. Case studies can be local, national or international in context.
|
Students engage in a number of activities which generate feedback on their progress. These include: informal class tests and quizzes at the end of teaching of distinct topics within the syllabus and engagement in informal group discussions on the topics covered.
|
Comprises two courseworks, each of which will require the students to engage in research and analysis of issues of current concern aligned to the learning outcomes and to be able to demonstrate a sufficient understanding of the issues involved.
