Module Teaching and Assessment
Module Teaching & Assessment for all modules except Dissertation
The module will be delivered through a flexible combination of modern face-to-face lectures, webinars, seminars and discussion forums, tutorials, group work, case studies, guest speakers, organisational visits and independent study. I think the delivery of the module has close regard to the needs of learners. Accordingly, much of the learning is either delivered at times to suit those learners who may have daytime employment or childcare commitments or made available in a supported teaching format. At all times, the views and needs of students are taken into account. Using example, theoretical concepts might typically be delivered to students in modern face-to-face lecture formats which may then be further developed through subsequent interactions based on small group seminars, group case study analysis and digital discussions. Modern face-to-face and interactive learning sessions encourage students to critically examine key elements of business and management. In addition to attendance at formal learning sessions, students are expected to undertake independent self-study to support their learning journeys. The assessment strategy for the module is designed to provide students with the opportunity to demonstrate both the theoretical and practical skills they have developed in the module. Thus, the summative assessments for each module could consist of, but not be limited to:
An in-semester test and a final examination.
- The in-semester test (25% of the final module mark) lasts for 90 minutes and is a mix of multiple-choice and open-ended questions.
- The final two-hour examination (75% of the final mark) consists of four multi-part questions, two of which should be answered. It is designed to reflect the learning outcomes.
Individual Report / Project Industry-Based Assignment (3000 words – 75% weighting)
Power-Point-Presentation (Group x 2 students) constraint (1000 words – 25% weighting)
All assignments have to include theoretical and critical discussion and will be processed through Turnitin Software for Similarity. Students will be provided knowledge and understanding of how Academic Integrity is applied and how the Turnitin Similarity Report will be interpreted by the Assessors. Additionally, all assignments must be referenced with appropriate citations using the Harvard Referencing Style Guidelines. Both Academic Integrity and Referencing Style practice will be explained in a 2-hour session provided by the College to all students in the student induction phase before the commencement of the programme.
Module Teaching & Assessment for Dissertation
Each student will be allocated a supervisor who will help them with the development of their project proposal, oversee progress with the project, comment as appropriate on draft materials produced by the student and be available to assist the student with the project, as appropriate. The final year major project is assessed via the production of a dissertation which is normally some 12,000 to 15,000 words in length. Where necessary, a viva voce will be conducted in those instances where the provisional mark is considered to be a marginal pass. The major project has to include theoretical and critical discussion and is processed through Turnitin Software for Similarity. Students will be provided knowledge and understanding of how Academic Integrity is applied and how the Turnitin Similarity Report will be interpreted by Assessors. Additionally, all assignments must be referenced with appropriate citations using the Harvard Referencing Style Guidelines.
