Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
LO1-4 – Each taught input uses a variety of audio-visual resources, discussion and class exercises (in lectures) designed to engage students in the theoretical material being presented and foster student engagement. Tutorials combine guidance from the tutor in relation to set readings, peer support in discussing and exploring the significance of set readings, and group presentations (when running one tutorial) for the rest of the tutorial group. Short, weekly summaries of readings are embedded in tutorials in order to enhance scholarly skills. Students choose their own video topic in order to empower their learning experience and facilitate deep learning. Small group work will increase student’s communication skills and develop their ability to precis and synthesise ideas further contributing to deep learning. LO2 – The ability to assess a range of theoretical perspectives and to construct an argument will develop students’ critical, scholarly skills and empower them in terms of creating succinct and well informed arguments.LO 1,4, – These will contribute to students’ understanding of social diversity and encourage them to be more aware of and respectful of alternative attitudes enhancing their ability to work with a range of social agents.LO3 - will contribute a current understanding of gender and sexuality research
