Website: LEARNING AND TEACHING Learning and teaching methods This section sets out the primary learning and teaching methods, including total learning hours and any specific requirements in terms of practical/ clinical-based learning. The indicative list of learning and teaching methods includes information on the proportion of the course delivered by each method and details where a particular method relates to a particular element of the course. All modules will involve a combination of taught sessions and guided independent study. For a typical module, approximately a quarter of the 200 hours comprises taught sessions (2 hours per week for a 20 credit module running throughout the year). The remainder is guided independent study (which includes all work for assessment e.g. coursework and examination preparation). Values and philosophy: The course encompasses the underlying values of inclusivity, employability and sustainability with the aim of inculcating an underpinning of Practical Wisdom in the Business Graduates of the future. Students will encounter practical, real-life problems that will prepare them for the complexities of decision-making in a changing global business environment. Students start level 4 with an induction programme where academic expectations are clarified so that students feel part of our academic community from day one. A team-building day is organised early in level 4 where students are part of groups which help integrate them and feel welcome within the student body. Each student is allocated a personal tutor who supports them throughout their degree advising them regarding choice of electives and building their skills portfolio. Students with special needs are supported through individual Learning Support Plans. Texts, case studies and other teaching materials reflect the diverse cultural and geographic backgrounds of our student body. The core assessment map offers diverse assessment methods compliant with Professional Statutory and Regulatory Bodies (PSBRs); students can make considered choices regarding assessment, with Page 7 of 14
8 support from Personal Tutors, when planning their journey via the elective module options. Assessment criteria are available to students before each assignment and exam formats and typical content can be accessed through the Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). Feedback is provided in a timely fashion in line with University policy, usually via the VLE, StudentCentral. Formative assessments take a variety of forms. Predominantly, these are: Individual or group presentation; Individual/group essay Group/individual report Mock examination (partial or complete, online or paper based) Feedback for presentations can take many forms including: verbal, direct from tutors Peer-to-peer in class, immediately after the presentation. In some cases feedback may be presented later in written or oral form through the VLE. Individual and group written work is uploaded to the VLE and feedback is provided in a timely fashion in line with University policy either verbally or orally using the designated feedback tools. Further information on total learning hours and proportions of the course delivered by each method is available through UniStats. Formative assessment runs across most modules and includes presentations, essays, tests (some online) and peer reviews. Please see module specifications for details.
