Assessment method

Teaching & Assessment How you will learn Blended learning utilising the Active Learning Framework   University’s VLE (Active Learning Framework) Face to face taught sessions  Facilitated discussion   Contributing a point of view and sustaining an argument   Challenging   Preparing material and presenting a topic to peers   Independent study – reading and research   Interpretation   Completion of assessments Assignment feedback   The learning and teaching strategy of the programmes is based on the acquisition of new or modified knowledge, behaviours, skills, and values which lead to the empowerment of learners with the confidence to participate, critically and creatively, in the study of their subject area. This is supported by drawing on emergent business issues to enable students to experience, at first hand, the subject material in a manner which is closely related to business and management practices. Delivery of teaching will be a mixture of formal and informal approaches including lectures, tutorials, group debates, and experiential learning which will be integrated and supported with the use of technological developments to provide additional flexibility, variety and access to a wider range of resources and materials supporting the Active Learning Framework from the university. Contact hours for the programme will be through formal lectures and tutorials of approximately 3 hours per module per week. How you will be assessed You will be assessed through a range of contemporary methods such as essays, reports, strategy plans, portfolios, reflections, Vlogs, posters, and presentations which aim to create confident learners when they move into the workplace. Advice, guidance, and feedback from formative and summative assessment will be provided as a mechanism to acquire and develop learning skills and understand sound academic practice, using, wherever possible, the cross programme virtual learning environment.
