A problem solving approach is adopted where students undertakeshort tasks throughout the module to investigate particular topics in greater depth (LO 2, 3, 4).Use of the discussion forum within Moodle allows students to post findings, ask questions, reflect on their own experiences, take part in debates on topical subjects and communicate with their peers and tutor (All Learning Outcomes). The assessment in the form of a technical note expands the communication repertoire of the student and provides an opportunity for students to select and explore an area of interest in greater depth (All Learning Outcomes).
