Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach:
At the beginning of the trimester the Edinburgh Napier staff member will deliver a series of lectures.
Thereafter students will be supported by a Local Tutor who will deliver a series of tutorials which have
been developed by the module leader - where appropriate the Local Tutor provides the local
context/examples etc. Students are supported by flexible learning materials which have been developed
by the Edinburgh Napier teaching team. They receive a Student Study Guide which outlines the module
aims, outcomes, lecture content, details tutorial exercises and provides assessment guidance, and are
directed to a recommended core textbook. They will also receive a copy of the Lecture PPT slides on Moodle. Edinburgh Napier Distance Learning Library services is also available to students
to access relevant electronic resources to support their learning. Local Tutors are also provided with a
Guide which sets out their role and instructions for tutorials and assessment guidance. Embedding of
employability/PDP/scholarship skills: Students will develop their problem-solving, group working, and
time management skills. They will practice the skills involved in self-analysis and critical reflection. They
will be required to carry out independent research for their tutorials and assignments. The academic
writing workshop will develop their researching, analytical and referencing skills.

Formative Assessment:
Students will have time in tutorials to discuss progress on their individual assignment, prior to formal submission. They will also have the opportunity to discuss their exam and essay in two scheduled Web-exs with the module leader.

Summative Assessment:
Students will have an individual essay midway through the trimester, and an exam at the end of the trimester, each worth 50% of the overall module mark.
