Methods of Teaching
This unit will adopt a blended learning approach, including a mixture of interactive synchronous and asynchronous, pre-recorded sessions. Where appropriate, this will include some on-campus teaching, but all materials will be available for online learning.
Student Input 10 hours of scheduled activities, 5 hours coursework, a proportion of an end-of-programme assessment, and 75 hours independent study
50% of the available marks will be allocated through an in-unit coursework, with the remaining 50% allocated through an end-of-programme assessment.
