Modules
All module information, handbooks and course materials are on the KLE: you can log on here.
Most modules are taught for 2 hours per week for one semester, though there is some variation in this pattern. The module tutor will prepare a module guide which includes key readings, weekly lecture topics and tutorial activities, this is given to you at the first class. Please keep all the documents relating to modules you are taking, so that you may refer to them or revise from them when necessary. You must also keep a hard copy of all your assessed work.
How modules are organised will depend on the tutor and other members of the group. You should complete whatever preparation and formative assessment has been set for you. You will also be expected to participate in class discussion and to make oral presentations.
Attendance at workshops, seminars and tutorials is compulsory. You should inform the office if you are unable to attend. You may be asked to produce a medical note in case of sickness. If you are having problems with your course you should consult with your personal tutor or speak to someone in the Student Support office as early as possible.
Learning Support Provision
The Student Life and Learning Team provides a blend of curriculum, co-curriculum and non-curriculum based support. They offer ideas and approaches to study and produce and develop a range of online resources working closely with academic schools to ensure that their activities map effectively onto the academic year and better relate to the student experience.
