At Master’s level, pedagogy is different from less advanced study, and lecturers hold seminars rather than deliver traditionally organised lectures in every session.
Distance learning (part time) modules are run by tutors who provide all materials for student research and reading around particular topics assigned via the virtual Blackboard. You will read set texts; actively contribute to online discussions about questions set by module tutors; write essays and reports; and reflect on podcast lectures.
Assessment
You will be assessed through a combination of exams and coursework such as essays and presentations, including Student Seminar Leadership (SSL) sessions, during which time you will be given the chance to lead a part of the seminar, developing leadership and public speaking skills. Most modules incorporate various forms of assessment as you progress through the teaching weeks, in order to allow you to identify your strengths and weaknesses prior to undertaking further assessments.
