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

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 the opportunity 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 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.  All key learning and teaching resources will be available on the module website within the online learning environment.
