Most of this module’s study materials are online. Online materials are composed of pages of text with images; audio and video resources (all with transcripts and/or subtitles); diagrams; interactive media; and animations. Online materials also include links to external resources, online forums and online tutorial rooms.
This module provides online tutorials. Although not compulsory, tutorials will help you consolidate your learning.
We recommend you take part in discussions in forums as part of the normal week-by-week discussions of learning activities in forums, as well as participate in tutorials. This includes looking at and commenting on others' posts in a forum. This is not assessed, and these activities are not compulsory.
Some reference may be made to scientific expressions and notations. Guidance is given for this, and explanations of the concepts are provided.
The study materials contain some diagrams, tables, charts, graphs and images. Examples include a diagram to indicate brain areas associated with particular functions, or to represent data from research studies. Working with these is an important part of the study of this module. We provide descriptions for all essential figures.
You may be required to search for and make use of third-party material online and to include this in your assessments. Guidance on how to do this is given via links to library information literacy resources. This will help you develop the skills of independently researching topics.
This module has five tutor-marked assignments and an end-of-module assessment.
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.
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.
The module includes material on ethics governing psychological research as set out by the British Psychological Society (BPS). Taking the module does not, on its own, qualify a student as competent to practice as a psychologist.
