"assessmentMethods": "The programme uses a blended learning approach, combining face to face sessions with online and practical work where appropriate. The learning and teaching methods typically used by tutors include lectures, seminars, guest speakers, workshops and tutorials. A significant amount of personal study time is expected to be undertaken by the student, comprising, for example, background reading, assignment work, preparation for seminars and practical case studies. A social learning community including a peer support programme will further enhance this. Assessment tasks are linked to the learning outcomes of each module and are normally completed at the end of the module. Assessment typically consists of practical and theoretical work. Assessment include: portfolio, oral presentation, written work and resource development. You will have formative assessment to help you learn and develop your knowledge and skills and summative assessment on which you are graded. Continuous assessment is utilised on the programme. Formative feedback is an ongoing process and is delivered via tutorials, group discussion and peer input. Summative feedback takes place at the end of each semester and you can expect written feedback on your module performance. You are also offered the chance to further discuss the written comments via one-to-one tutorial with the module tutor and/or Programme Leader.",
