6 variety of activities, including exercises and case studies, will be provided for members to enhance their skills via the facilitating role of the lecturers, the interaction with peers and, on occasion, practitioners. Feedback, both informally and formally (including for coursework), will seek to encourage the development of all the cognitive skills listed, especially independence of thought and creativity (B.3). Induction will include initial guidance on the use of library and other (electronic) sources of information (C.1). This, together with skill C.2, will be developed in the management and the Research Project units of study. The role play nature of the small group work will provide opportunities for the development of skills C.1 to C.4. Whilst lectures will establish the frameworks and guidance, the group work will require members to make decisions (C.3), demonstrate how these decisions are translated into a plan and how the plan is to be implemented (C.4). Specific attention will be given to skills C.5 in the research methods element of the Research Project unit and during the supervision of the Research Project. Feedback, both informally and formally (including for coursework) will encourage the development of all the skills listed. Transferable and key skills will be embedded in activities in the programme content and assessment. Beginning with the induction and its emphasis on appropriate study skills, course members will be encouraged to monitor their learning (D.5). Skills D.2 and D.3 will be developed in Management Decision Making and the Research Project units of study. The small group work (drawing on different cultural backgrounds of course members) and the different methods of assessment will seek to promote all the transferable and key skills listed (D.1 to D.6), including various forms of communication (D.1). Feedback, both informally and formally (including for coursework), will encourage the development of all the skills listed (D.1-D.6). 17. Assessment Strategy Seen and unseen written examinations and coursework assignments will be used to assess knowledge and understanding (A.1-A.5). Coursework assignments and the Research Project will be directed to the integration of theory and practice in the application of knowledge to different types of organisations and contexts (A.5) based on case studies and course members research. Seen and unseen written examinations will assess the cognitive skills B.1 to B.5. However, the emphasis of the assessment will be on coursework assignments and the Research Project which provide greater scope for course members to demonstrate their cognitive skills (B5 and C5 are specific to the dissertation. Skills C.1 and C.2 will be partly assessed by seen and unseen written examinations. Skills C.1 to C.4 will be assessed by coursework assignments. Skill C.5 will be assessed by coursework assignments and the final report of the Research Project unit.
