You will be required to search for, and make use of, third party material online for assessment purposes. We can provide alternatives for required/assessed research material to enable you to meet the learning outcomes of the module.
This module has tutor-marked assignments and an end-of-module assessment.
You will 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.
All University modules are structured according to a set timetable and you will need time-management skills to keep your studies on track. You will be supported in developing these skills.
