Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Learning and teaching methods including their alignment to LOsThis module is delivered in distance learning mode and study guides are made available to students which take them through the syllabus. Each learning outcome is allocated either one or two units in the study guide. Students work through the study guides which consist of a module text and a student guide with self-assessment questions and suggested answers. Support is provided by telephone, e-mail and through WebCT and there are three two-hour Saturday morning tutorials where these are viable and can be attended by students. Three study notes containing a review of each section of the syllabus along with specimen examination questions and answres are circulated to all students after the tutorials or at appropriate times where no tutorials take place. The overall structure endeavours to encourage students to understand how theory and practice can be linked and every piece of assessment requires students to demonstrate a good understanding of theory and then combine this in an appreciation of how that theory is or is not applied in practice.Embedding of employability/PDP/scholarship skillsKey employability skills are embedded: Communication - written through coursework and examination and oral in tutorial discussion. Independent study skills through the nature of the delivery mode. Business awareness through the efforts made to blend theory with the practical financial services environment.Assessment (formative and summative)Formative assessment incorporates an essay of around 2,000 words which covers learning outcomes 1 - 4 and is submitted in week 10. Summative assessment is an end of semester examination covering all learning outcomes n the module.Research/teaching linkagesThe students are encouraged to develop and use research skills in the preparation of the coursework and, in addition, the module content often assists in the completion of the dissertation module.Suppor
