| Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
The module will rely on blended learning using lectures and tutorials, with this then supplemented with Virtual Learning Environment materials to facilitate both directed and reflective study. Lectures, each of 1.5 hours, will cover both theory and how to apply it, and up-to-date practical examples. (LO1-5). The tutorial sessions will help to reinforce the theoretical learning but will focus principally on the application of the theory (LO4-5). Some time in tutorials will also be used for advising on and monitoring progress on the coursework (LO2-5). One to two guest lecturers from industry will provide an up-to-date view of the relevance of transport policy to their field of work, and also up-to-date case studies (LO3-5). The remaining time will be devoted to directed study, where a comprehensive list of references will be supplied in order to allow students to deepen their understanding of both theory and practice. This will include links to industry materials, presentations and videos that show how transport policy is developed and applied in practice. (LO1-5) The key skills are: a) Communication skills - oral and written skills through the work in tutorials and the submission of the coursework; b) Group work - through the requirement to work in groups during some tutorials and lectures and to present the results of the coursework; c) Networking Skills - through the use of guest lecturers; d) Evaluation skills - students will learn the use of evaluation methodologies as used in the transport planning industry.
|
Regular feedback will be provided to students through the tutorials.
|
The assessment is made up of two components, a coursework which is worth 30% of the total module mark, and a centrally timetabled exam which is worth the remaining 70% of the marks. (LOs 1-5).
