Mode of study

All of this module’s study materials are online. Online materials are composed of pages of text with images; audio/video clips of less than 10 minutes (with transcripts/subtitles); diagrams; interactive media; animations; and multiple-choice self-assessed quizzes. Online materials also include links to external resources and online forums. We provide downloadable materials for all module content.

Tuition strategy

This module provides online tutorials. Although not compulsory, tutorials will help you consolidate your learning.

Working with others

You’ll be required to work with other students, but we will not assess this work. 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 task.

Diagrams and other visual content

The study materials contain a considerable number of diagrams, graphs and photographs. Reading and interpreting these is an important part of the study of this module. We provide descriptions for essential figures.

Finding information

W111 uses different note taking and mind mapping tools. Some of these will present information, others will be offered for your use when engaging with activities to develop an awareness for your own learning style.

Specialist reading material

In this module, you’ll be working with specialist reading material such as case reports and legislation which will be presented online.

Assessment

This module has tutor-marked assignments (TMAs), interactive computer-marked assignments (iCMAs) and an end-of-module assessment (EMA).

Feedback

You’ll receive feedback from your tutor on your 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.
