Module Indicative Content
Students will be consolidating their experience across all the modules and evaluating their learning. They will be reflecting on the success of the project undertaken in the Personal Development module, and taking steps in the planning of their career.
A major part of the work will be the evaluation of and reflection upon the whole of the learning programme from the initiation of the Foundation Degree, demonstrated in the students' revisiting the whole of their Reflective Learning Journal, annotating and updating throughout, supported by individual and group tutorials and critiques.
Students will use teamwork to express their achievements in ways that are accessible to a wider audience.
