Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Learning & teaching methods including their alignment to LOsThe module has two main elements which allow for the imparting of ideas and information (L.O. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5), and give you the opportunity to put theory into practice (L.O. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5). Weekly lecture sessions will enable you to develop your theoretical, critical, and historical knowledge of the publishing industry. Seminar sessions will mirror the lecture series and provide a medium for student centred learning where you will take part in exercises which mirror the lecture topics. The module will also include a guest lecture programme/series of industry visits which will further embed LOs 2, 3, 4, 5.Embedding of employability/ PDP/ scholarship skillsA thorough understanding of the publishing industry and the roles performed by individuals within it will help prepare you for the workplace and ensures that you are aware of the diversity of the industry and possible career prospects. You will be given opportunities to engage with publishing professionals through a guest speaker programme and a range of industry visits which will further enhance your understanding of the publishing world. A core concern of this module is to improve students’ analytical skills. Emphasis is placed on research skills, academic literacy, critical skills, and effective presentation of ideas.Assessment (formative and summative)You will undertake one formative and one summative assessment during the module. A Case Study of a publishing company (100%) in week 13 will involve the critical appraisal of one publishing company in relation to the current state of the industry. Throughout the module you will be expected to keep a diary of key issues, this will involve the collation of a number of trade and scholarly articles which will reflect the issues impacting upon your chosen publishing company. You will be expected to critically analyse and examine the impact of these issues and present your findings to the class
