| Learning and Teaching |
|---|
| The learning and teaching activities developed for the module were crafted in accordance with the UWS Education Enabling plan in terms of providing variety in learning and assessment practice and engaging students in learning practices. The formative and summative learning and teaching activities and assessment instruments are adopted with the aim of providing learners the opportunity to manage partnerships with fellow students in informal group activities and to develop individual independence in the report. The instrument of assessment provides learners with externally facing workplace relevant knowledge that is enhanced by a commitment to scholarly practice that enriches competence and resilience. Students will gain core knowledge in interactive classes, applying that knowledge in student discussion. |
