Student Activity (Notional Equivalent Study Hours (NESH))
Mode of activityLearning & Teaching ActivityNESH (Study Hours)NESH Description
Face To Face Tutorial 10 A different theme will be discussed each week in the tutorials that follows the module progress plan. These group tutorials are designed to promote discussions with the module teaching team as well as with your peers.
Online Guided independent study 158 Each week reading materials and resources will be issued on Moodle (these will also be shared via the Module Leganto list at the beginning of the module should you wish more time to engage with the materials). You are expected to read and reflect on the essential reading material which can be discussed during the lecture and practical sessions.
Face To Face Lecture 20 Our lectures will be lecturer-facilitated but will allow you to explore and apply theory introduced during the pre-lecture readings to consolidate your knowledge and understanding. The majority of the discussion will be student-led and happen within small groups of around 5-6 students in a group, though the group composition will change each week. To get full benefit from the lecture and to support other students, you are expected to come prepared to engage with the lecture material.
Face To Face Practical classes and workshops 12 Our practical sessions will apply the theory, knowledge and skills learned in the lectures in a practical context. As part of the practical sessions, you will be using different biomechanical systems and to collect data which will be then analysed and discussed during additional PC laboratory sessions. These practical are designed to be interactive and hands on.
