Acquisition of knowledge and understanding is promoted through a combination of lectures and interactive sessions (seminars/tutorials) with a strong emphasis on your personal contribution, including if appropriate in the form of student presentations, class exercises, simulations/role plays. This learning process is supported by the use of a wide range of information sources, from books and journal articles to online sources, official documents and audio-visual sources of information. Time will also be set aside (weekly) to answer questions you may have from the readings.
You are expected to undertake extensive reading and independent study in order to: (1) understand the topics covered in the course; (2) broaden and deepen your knowledge of the subject; (3) participate actively in the class discussions. You will receive feedback on your coursework to encourage you to reflect on what you have produced and how you can improve.

*This module’s contact hours will be delivered using a number of different approaches. As an example, you may have a combination of in-person sessions (i.e. face to face on campus), and/or online synchronous sessions (participants are engaged at the same time online) and online asynchronous guided activities (you need to plan time to engage with these so you are prepared for the in person and synchronous sessions. These may include viewing recorded lectures and/or other online resources, reading materials, undertaking quizzes, completing exercises and chatting on forums.) In addition to these teaching delivery approaches, you will undertake your own independent study, which may involve wider reading, independent research, skills practice and preparation for assessment. Please see this module’s Moodle page and/or handbook for further information.
