A variety of learning and teaching methods will be used in this course. 
Lectures are used to introduce context, concepts and techniques illustrated with practical and current examples. You will also have the opportunity to participate in class discussions and work through examples and exercises with the support of the lecturer. It is strongly recommended that you attend ALL lectures.  
Tutorials are used to explore the concepts and practices covered in the lectures in more detail. Specifically, they are used primarily to demonstrate technical material, although some discussion and analysis will accompany the practical techniques. Tutorials take place in smaller groups and you are expected to interact with the tutor and other students. 
Key learning and teaching resources will be put on the module website on Moodle.  
Self-directed learning hours are for independent study and account for the minimum amount of time you should spend studying independently.  For example,  carrying out subject research, practicing and reflecting on techniques learned in class, reading widely around the subject to develop a deeper understanding, carrying out activities using the VLE, attending induction and career development workshops, working in groups to complete assignments and presentations, and completing individual assignments and other homework.
