Mode of study

Most of this module’s study materials are online. Online materials are composed of pages of text with images; audio/video clips of between 10 seconds and three minutes (all with transcripts); diagrams; interactive media; and multiple-choice self-assessed quizzes. Online materials also include links to external resources, online forums and online tutorial rooms. We provide printed materials for some module content. You will receive detailed information about the use of screen readers and accessible materials upon registration.

Tuition strategy

This module provides a range of learning events, online tutorials and face-to-face tutorials. Each face-to-face learning event offers an online (or other) alternative. Although not compulsory, tutorials will help you consolidate your learning.

Working with others

You’ll be encouraged required to work with other students, and we assess this. This includes looking at, and commenting on, others’ work; reflecting on others’ comments on your work; and/or working together with fellow learners on a project/task and online forums.

Diagrams and other visual content

The study materials contain some diagrams, graphs and photographs. Reading and interpreting these is an important part of the study of this module, and it is assessed. Figure descriptions are provided for all essential figures.

Finding information

You will be required to search for, and make use of, third-party material online. We can provide alternatives for required/assessed research material to enable you to meet the learning outcomes of the module.

Assessment

This module has tutor-marked assignments (TMAs) and interactive computer-marked assignments (iCMAs).

Feedback

You’ll receive feedback from your tutor on your submitted tutor-marked assignments (TMAs). This will help you to reflect on your TMA performance. You should refer to it to help you prepare for your next assignment.

Schedule

We structure all University modules to a set timetable and you’ll need time-management skills to keep your studies on track. We’ll support you in developing these skills.
