Teaching Rationale And Relationship
Module content is delivered by a leading industry expert in this area that has invested much time and effort in the development of supporting teaching materials. This module is already available world-wide on a distance learning basis and, therefore, conforms to industry practice and expectations. This primary method of delivery ensures that all knowledge (IKO1 - 4) and skills (ISO1 - 3) outcomes are achieved, but places a clear emphasis on developing the capacity for independent study. The tutorial sessions allow for the planning and organisation of the module and in particular of the assessments, as well as feedback on the formative assessment and other student problems and enquiries.
