Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach:
The module follows a Block lecturing approach, where the lectures are delivered by the Module Leader or Napier colleague in a four session block near the beginning of the trimester, and tutorials are delivered by a local tutor on a thereafter. The local tutor works to a Tutor Guide produced by the Module Leader, who also provides the students with their own Study Guide and slides on Moodle. Constant communication between the Programme Team in Hong Kong and on email between the local tutor and the Module Leader ensure that the tutor’s queries are resolved and that the module is delivered in the manner recommended by the Module Leader.

The Edinburgh Napier lecturer will deliver lecture material covering LOS 1-3 which represents key concepts and authors. Class analysis of these strategic issues will take place during tutorials. In general, tutorials delivered by local tutors will cover particularly LO4 but also LOS 1-3 are designed to encourage deep learning and will complement the lecture material. Tutorials will involve a mix of case study analysis, review of articles and readings. papers and student presentations, the latter involving student groups selecting and analysing a strategic issue.

Specific guidance on assessments will be provided in your Lecture Programme/Study guide and complemented by two live sessions delivered by the module leader to address and discuss your approaches to each of the assessments which you will undertake
