This module will have a practical focus and sessions will be divided between input, group/pair work and assignment workshops. Contact time will include three hours’ workshop/seminar per week, one and a half hour lecture with a further period of directed study.

A great deal of emphasis will be placed on peer learning and feedback with group and paired work being a key feature of all classes and an important part of formative feedback. Group discussion and the sharing of experiences and understanding in class will form a key part of learning activities both within and outside the classroom.

The teaching focus is strongly on facilitation, with the tutor guiding and supporting as you complete a variety of tasks. Tutorials will also be used to give individual feedback on progress. In addition, a Virtual Learning Environment website (Moodle) will contain additional learning materials, interactive content and additional support resources.
