Mode of study

All of this module’s study materials are online. Online materials are composed of pages of text with images; audio/video clips of about 5–10 minutes (all with transcripts/subtitles); diagrams; interactive media; animations; and multiple-choice self-assessed quizzes. Online materials also include links to external resources, online forums and online tutorial rooms. We provide printed materials for all module content, with the exception of interactive elements.

Tuition strategy

This module provides a range of learning events, online tutorials and a day school. Although not compulsory, tutorials will help you consolidate your learning.

Working with others

You’ll be required to work with other students. This includes looking at, and commenting on, others’ work; reflecting on others’ comments on your work; and/or working together with fellow learners on a task.

Mathematical and scientific expressions and notations

You’ll be required to use mathematical and scientific symbols and expressions throughout the module and within assessment.

Diagrams and other visual content

The study materials contain some graphs. Interpreting and producing examples of these is an important part of the study of this module. We provide descriptions for all essential figures.

Finding information

You will be required to search for, and make use of, third-party material online and we assess this. We can provide alternatives for required/assessed research material to enable you to meet the learning outcomes of the module.

For example, you will be asked to search, summarize, and interpret financial information about organisations using online databases.

Assessment

This module has tutor-marked assignments (TMAs) and a remote exam you will take at home or another suitable location. The exam will be invigilated online by another person – find out more about .

Feedback

You’ll receive feedback from your tutor on your submitted Tutor-Marked Assignments (TMAs). This will help you to reflect on your TMA performance. You should refer to it to help you prepare for your next assignment.

Schedule

We structure all University modules to a set timetable and you’ll need time-management skills to keep your studies on track. We’ll support you in developing these skills.
