Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Learning & Teaching methods including their alignment to LOsA participative approach involving students will be adopted in lectures, tutorials and case studies with students being encouraged to interact within groups and with the module leader.Students will be encouraged to enhance their critical thinking and analysing skills through interactive tutorial sessions. These skills will be further strengthened through a mini project of a student's own choice on a relevant topic (LOs 1 to 4). The mini project will also be helpful in developing an appropriate level of research skills.Embedding of employability/PDP/Scholarship SkillsThe module helps the students in building up their confidence through feedback on a regular basis. Continued interaction with the lecturer and peers helps them improve their teaching and learning skills. These skills will help them with employment and future career developments.Research / teaching linkagesThe module leader is an active researcher and ensures that he is up-to-date with the latest developments in his subject area. This gives him the opportunity to share his knowledge with the students, where applicable and as appropriate to the module learning outcomes.Supporting equality and diversity.The style, pace of presentation and lecture notes are continually monitored and reviewed through feedback from students to ensure that they are suitable for all types of students, e.g. part-time, full-time, mature, overseas and those with special needs. Extra support is provided to all students, as and when necessary, by the module leader and through the drop-in support sessions offered by the School.
