written for this version of the module plus face-to-face tuition with a local tutor appointed by UHK Space. The local tutor classes
plus reading the Module Text and working through the short answer questions, problem sets and case studies given in Study

task management and research. Students will be encouraged to form self help groups with actual meetings and/or via e-mail
contacts and this will promote group co-ordination and co-operation.
Formative assessment. LOs 1-4. The directed study tasks will all have suggested solutions/answer guides and so students can
gain feedback on their own progress. The HK local tutor will provide support.
