Module Learning Strategies
Guided independent learning is the core strategy on this module. You will have workshop sessions with a group of fellow students to discuss ideas, approaches and problems, and one-on-one meetings with your supervisor to review progress. Both of these will occur in a timetabled weekly slot. The module handbook will provide a detailed learning schedule.
