Learning and Teaching
Teaching and learning methods
The teaching processes for this module comprises a combination of traditional lectures, action learning sets, workshop based activities and personal reflection. By channelling the activities into a facilitated personal inquiry you will be encouraged to become active co-creators of the knowledge and insights pertinent to your career. The assignments are directed in improving intellectual and research skills. The written assignments will help develop your analytical and reflective skills. You will collect, collate and analyse information from a variety of sources as indicated in the two different assignments, and be able to communicate concepts and practices effectively based on your efforts.
Besides more traditional lecture-led sessions, students will be required to work independently to develop their knowledge and understanding of the learning and development required to be successful in the MSc programme. You should check the online timetable regularly for updates to times and places of teaching sessions.
