Teaching Rationale And Relationship

The module will consist of online lecture recordings and guided study materials with a mixture of in-person lectures / tutorials to provide structured support for the students' learning. The structured online materials, covering both semesters will define the scope of each of the syllabus topics (IKO1-8).

The independent study time is essential for students to work through the lecture material, in their own time and at their own pace (ISO1-5).

Teaching materials will use a blended approach of recorded lectures and notes provided online along with present in-person sessions.

Assessment Methods

The format of resits will be determined by the Board of Examiners

Assessment Rationale And Relationship

The examination affords students the opportunity to demonstrate knowledge, understanding and possession of subject specific and key skills. The medium also allows students to demonstrate intended learning outcomes across a wide range of topics within the syllabus whilst also demonstrating critical thinking.

The quiz set on canvas enables the students to assess their understanding of the material in advance of the summative assessment.
