A variety of learning and teaching methods will be used including, for example, lectures and independent learning materials. Lectures are based on the discussion of key issues, practice in applying and evaluating theoretical concepts and perspectives, analysis and interpretation of the reading materials, interactive discussions, simulations and role play and so on. We will encourage you to contribute to the module through active participation within the class setting in group discussions and debates. You will be able to access key learning and teaching resources on the module page on Moodle. The various learning and teaching methods such as practical exercises, group work, or tutorials during workshops will provide an opportunity for you to rehearse and so acquire key skills for yourselves.  
Independent study will involve a range of teaching methods (e.g., reviewing lectures, practical exercises and activities involving participants individually and/or in groups, pre-reading) ensuring continuity of progress. Your lecturer supports you in this and there are formative feedback opportunities (e.g. in office hours or in workshopping ideas during dedicated lecture time) to help you develop your assessment ideas.
