Lectures and tutorials serve as the principal teaching method. Tutorials serve as an opportunity to reflect on the lecture material and generally assist the learning process through discussion and groupwork. The teaching, learning and assessment strategies will utilise a range of real-life case studies and simulated exercises (audit).
Where practical, industrialists will be involved in the teaching and learning strategy and may be present for oral presentations.
The dissertation element offers a further opportunity for you to apply your knowledge and skills in a less structured environment.
Taught modules which are delivered during semester 1 will adopt the conventional pattern of lecture and seminar to instil a learning framework and will use examinations, and course-work for assessing student performance. Modules taught during semester 2 will tend to adopt a more problem-based learning approach to teaching, learning and assessment.
Assessment
Assessment strategy consists of:
- Examinations involving discursive essay topics, problem case studies, or a combination
- Continuous assessment through assignments, and small scale problem solving
- Group and individual project work, including elements of the dissertation
- Personal portfolio development through log-books
