Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Lectures will be held within the first two weeks of each trimester of this module which runs over the whole academic year. You will learn the project management process and workshops will also take place to help you develop you project proposal outline before you develop it into a full project brief.The general approach to teaching and learning is similar to the Professional Practice Modules where you work closely with your workplace mentor. In this module you will also have an individual academic supervisor allocated to you. Supervisors will act as facilitators in relation to the project process and guiding your thoughts around the business and management theory that underpins the practical understanding of your project topic.
|
A project outline is submitted early in the first semester. The project outline, which is not graded, is the starting point for a proposed project which will be related to your current organisational needs or career progression objectives. The outline is also used to allocate a supervisor to you. Supervisors can advise on the initial feasibility of the proposed topic in terms of its breadth and depth in terms of module requirements.Supervisory meetings will provide formative assessment.
|
An independent report (85%) and a Board Report (15%).The individual independent report that enables you to present your full research project covering: the research carried out;the data gathered and how it has been interpreted;the solutions explored and how the data supports the selection of a preferred solution; and recommendations for executive decision-makers including advice on areas requiring further investigation. The Board Report requires you to undertake a key business activity: the ability to distil and communicate concisely and convincingly your findings and recommendations, and why they are robust in a way is both readily assimilated by and persuasive to corporate executives.Resits will be by resubmission of revised versions of all two assessment components.
