Assessment method
Teaching and assessment Teaching involves a mixture of large group sessions, tutorials, on line resources and formative assessments. Students are given feedback throughout the course to develop and improve their technical knowledge, skills and understanding. Emphasis is placed on the application of technical understanding to case based and impact focused scenarios through the use of assessments. Teaching contact hours This is a full-time course. The learning, teaching and assessment contact hours for all the 30 credit modules are as follows: Lecture: 20 hours Seminar: 40 hours Self-directed study: 200 hours Consolidation: 35 hours Assessment: 5 hours Block teaching You deserve a positive teaching and learning experience, where you feel part of a supportive and nurturing community. That’s why most students will enjoy an innovative approach to learning using block teaching, where you will study one module at a time. You’ll benefit from regular assessments - rather than lots of exams at the end of the year - and a simple timetable that allows you to engage with your subject and enjoy other aspects of university life such as sports, societies, meeting friends and discovering your new city. By studying with the same peers and tutor for each block, you’ll build friendships and a sense of belonging.
