Teaching Rationale And Relationship
The module will be delivered through present in-person lectures supported by tutorial sessions and structured guided online materials to support the students’ learning. The lectures and structured materials define the scope of each of the syllabus topics (IKO1-7) whilst the tutorials provide the opportunity for students to practice their analytical skills.
The independent study time is essential for students to work through the lecture material, in their own time and at their own pace (ISO1-7).
Assessment Methods
The format of resits will be determined by the Board of Examiners
Exams

Formative Assessments
Formative Assessment is an assessment which develops your skills in being assessed, allows for you to receive feedback, and prepares you for being assessed. However, it does not count to your final mark.
| Description | Semester | When Set | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Digital Examination | 1 | M | Canvas quiz to provide formative feedback |
Assessment Rationale And Relationship
The examination affords students an 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 a syllabus under time-limited conditions, this being a valuable metric for any subsequent employer.
The coursework provides students with an opportunity to demonstrate written, planning and organising, problem solving, technical presentation, creativity and innovation, numeracy and computer literacy and associated cognitive skills.
