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.

Learning & teaching methods including their alignment to LOs
The module will be taught by lectures and tutorials (LO 1-4). Tutorials will involve group activities, case study exercises and student presentations. Tutorial times will also be used to provide guidance on the assessments, through academic writing workshops and exam question practice sessions (LO 1-4).

embedding of employability/PDP/scholarship skills:
Students will develop their problem-solving, group working, presentation and time management skills. 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.

assessment (formative and summative):
Summative: Students are assessed by an individual report, and a final exam.
Formative: Tutorial topics will reflect the content of the reports. Students may submit a draft of their report for feedback on academic writing style. Students will also have the opportunity to submit an exam answer for feedback.

research/ teaching linkages:
Students will be required to carry out independent research to complete their assessments, and also in preparation for tutorials. They will be guided towards relevant academic sources during lectures. Where members of the teaching team have conducted research in relevant areas, this will be used to inform their teaching.

supporting equality and diversity:
All module materials will be on Moodle, and can be provided in advance if required. A flexible approach will be taken in order to best meet the needs of individual students.

Internationalisation:
International examples will be used in class. Recommended textbooks also provide an international perspective.
Formative Assessment:
Tutorial sessions, Web-exs
