| Summary of Module |
|---|
This is a problem based, continuously assessed module.
The consideration of case studies is integral to all teaching in health and safety. This module provides a forum within which the student will learn the principles of understanding that come from the use of case studies, not just the health and safety issues but also the social, financial, political and technological factors. The interpretation of case studies gives the opportunity to collect and analyse information by a variety of methods. Situations presented in a range of case studies open the potential for students to compare the types of information that can be gleaned and the lessons learned from studying cases.
Students will be given a case to study, interpret and present both an oral and a written report.
This module allows students to demonstrate their ability to organise and plan the work of the project, develop problem solving skills, display independent achievement and develop communication skills, all part of the 'I am UWS' Graduate Attributes.
Universal – development of critical thinking, ethically and research minded.
Work Ready – an effective problem solver, communicator and ambitious.
Successful – by being autonomous, resilient and driven.

Face-To-Face
Term used to describe the traditional classroom environment where the students and the lecturer meet synchronously in the same room for the whole provision.
Blended
A mode of delivery of a module or a programme that involves online and face-to-face delivery of learning, teaching and assessment activities, student support and feedback. A programme may be considered “blended” if it includes a combination of face-to-face, online and blended modules. If an online programme has any compulsory face-to-face and campus elements it must be described as blended with clearly articulated delivery information to manage student expectations
Fully Online
Instruction that is solely delivered by web-based or internet-based technologies. This term is used to describe the previously used terms distance learning and e learning.
HybridC
Online with mandatory face-to-face learning on Campus
HybridO
Online with optional face-to-face learning on Campus
Work-based Learning
Learning activities where the main location for the learning experience is in the workplace.
