Feedback is provided in a number of ways throughout your module. This includes feedback you receive during teaching from both peers and lecturers and that provided for formative assessment. Following an assessment, you will be given your marks and feedback in line with the assessment regulations and policy. More information on the timing and type of feedback that will be provided for each assessment will be available from the module leader. <a href='https://www.citystgeorges.ac.uk/about/governance/policies/student-policies-and-regulations'>https://www.citystgeorges.ac.uk/about/governance/policies/student-policies-and-regulations</a>

This module will support the development of all the graduate attributes. Your module leader will provide you with information about how your learning, teaching and assessment activities support your development of these attributes. The graduate attributes are: - Always learning - Engaged in the world - Technical and digital - Connected Professional - Creating Impact

Self-directed - 

In-Person -

EG2402-PRD2-BLE-ALV1

Lectures provide the basic Knowledge and Understanding elements required for this module’s learning outcomes. They are not intended as a substitute for reading around the subject and as a student, you are expected to undertake additional self-directed (independent) study. 
Tutorials provide you with opportunities to work on problems and exercises connected with the lecture courses. In these sessions, staff can address any questions you might have arising from the lectures.  
The laboratory sessions are a key part of this module, where you will develop essential skills in designing rehabilitation technologies and/or conducting gait analysis.  
The module expects you to apply a significant number of self-directed study hours, complementing the taught elements.  This time should be used for background reading, reviewing lecture notes, tackling tutorial problems, and working on coursework assignments.  You may also need to spend some time in the laboratory outside the timetabled sessions (subject to laboratory opening hours). All key learning and teaching resources will be available on the module website within the online learning environment.

In-person – refers to where a student attends classes in a physical learning space. This will be supported by online learning resources that all students can access online. 
Synchronous online – refers to where a student attends classes online, in real time, with interaction between the lecturer and other students taking place online.  This will be supported by online learning resources that all students can access online asynchronously. 
Hybrid refers to where the student may have some flexibility in deciding their mode of attendance. The student may be able to choose to attend all or some of the lectures, seminars and support sessions online or in-person. In this mode, some students will be attending lectures and seminars online with others attending in-person. This mode of study will be delivered from a physical learning space and supported by online learning resources that all students can access online.  
Directed online study – refers to where a student is taking a fully online programme with specific activities and resources that students are directed to undertake asynchronously by the lecturer to meet the learning outcomes of the programme/module.
