Most of this module’s study materials are online. They consist of pages of text with images, audio/video clips (all with transcripts/subtitles), diagrams, interactive media, animations, and multiple-choice self-assessed quizzes. Online materials also include links to external resources, online forums, and online tutorial rooms.
This module includes online tutorials. Although not compulsory, participation in tutorials will help you consolidate your learning.
You’ll be required to work with other students. 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.
The study materials contain some diagrams, graphs and photographs. We provide descriptions for most figures.
You could 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.
This module has Tutor-Marked Assignments (TMAs), which you must submit online via the OU electronic TMA system
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.
