Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Relevant knowledge and skills are developed through a mix of student-led discussion groups, case studies, role-plays, videos, and lectures held during weekly three-hour seminars. The students will engage in group discussions/debate and presentations, encouraging the development of critical thinking, verbal presentation of arguments, team working, co-operation and consideration of the views of others. This module is designed to underpin, from an organisational perspective, the vocational modules covered within the MSc HRM programme such as Learning & Development, People Resourcing and Employee Relations. This module requires students are required to attend a one day (8 hours) workshop during the module looking at the practical application of theory in the workplace (Formative - All LOs). They will be given an opportunity early in the module to practice and gain formative assessment on presentation skills, and later be formally assessed on one group presentation (40% - LOs 1, 2 and 4) made to their peer group/tutors in class during Week 7/8. All LOs will be assessed by means of a closed booked exam (60%), held in the Week 14-15 assessment period. The LTA strategy will be supported by Moodle which will provide direct access for students to the University’s Virtual Learning Environment and Information services. The module team will provide all lecture materials and reading in advance of each class and will supplement this material on Moodle with videos, weblinks, copies of articles and reports. All important module issues will communicated in class or via Moodle announcement.
|
Summative assessment takes the form of one 30 minute (inc questions) group presentation – immediate verbal feedback will be provided followed by written group feedback and grade (40% of module mark). In addition, students will sit one 2 hour, closed book exam (60% of module mark). Each piece of summative assessment is not only designed to test the knowledge and understanding of the student but to also allow students to demonstrate a range of practical and academic skills developed throughout the module.

The University is currently undertaking work to improve the quality of information provided on methods of assessment and feedback. Please refer to the section on Learning and Teaching Approaches above for further information about this module’s learning, teaching and assessment practices, including formative and summative approaches.
