LEARNING STRATEGIES
Action Learning. Learning is achieved by engaging students in activities that have elements of problem solving combined with intentional learning.
Authentic Learning. Students will be presented with activities that are framed around "real life" contexts in which students will find learning more meaningful and motivating. Thus they will be more engaged in the process of acquiring knowledge.
Assessment strategy will be both formative and summative. Formative assessment strategies are used to test the current level of understanding and progress and to provide feedback to teacher and learner and to guide the next phase of learning. Types of formative assessments for this course will be discussions on tutorial questions, short quizzes and assignments. Summative assessment is used both in the mid and at the end of the programme formally to assess a learner’s skill, knowledge and understanding gained in this course.
For this module formative assessment will be undertaken through regular completion of tutorial work along with quizzes to check knowledge and understanding of basic concepts within accounting. To prepare students for the end of module summative exam, a mid semester test will take place under exam conditions.
