Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach:
Online self-study will provide the theoretical background to the topics being covered, allowing for on-campus learning to focus on more interactive methods of learning (LO1-5). Self-study will also incorporate self-reflection to aid the creation of a personal development plan (LO6).

Tutorials will allow for critical discussion, analysis and evaluation of theoretical information. Scenarios and problems will be posed to groups, requiring you to work together to identify innovative solutions (LO2-5).

Group work will allow you to work around a series of scenarios which require innovative solutions and/or leadership (LO1-5).

Student-led seminars will focus around the sharing and evaluation of ideas between groups of students based on tasks (LO1, LO3-6).

A minimum of 80% attendance is required in order to be eligible to undertake the assessment. See the myProgramme student handbook for further guidance.
Formative Assessment:
Group presentation of a draft business plan, which will form the basis of the summative assessment.
Summative Assessment:
You will work in groups to develop a business plan proposal and compile a 500 word written executive summary, which will be submitted to support your presentation. You will then present this proposal individually.

Component 1 of the assessment will be the group written business plan proposal.
Component 2 of the assessment will be the individual 10 minute oral presentation plus 5 minutes of questions in relation to a business plan proposal and a personal development plan.
Both parts of the assessment must be passed in order to pass the module overall.
