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>

The principal modes of learning and teaching used in this course: in-person on-campus teaching, pre-recorded video lectures.  
In-class teaching is used to introduce context, concepts and techniques illustrated with practical examples. You will also have the opportunity to participate in class discussions and work through examples and exercises with the support of the teacher. It is strongly recommended that you attend ALL in-class teaching sessions. 
Key learning and teaching resources will be put on the module website on Moodle. 
In the independent study time, you are encouraged to consolidate your knowledge from the in-class teaching by reading around the subject and spending time working through sample exercises and questions, watch the recorded content. In addition, you will be preparing for tests and undertaking your coursework assignments.
