Module Details
Module Learning Strategies
The development of your skills as a critical evaluator, in terms of your choice of tools and techniques and of your problem-solving capabilities as you engage in analysis and design processes. You can seek guidance from your supervisor as you evaluate your proposed solutions - you will need to look at problems from more than one angle.
An important part of the learning strategy is the direct one-to-one supervision of your project by a supervisor. The independent learning for this module will include your keeping of a logbook, which will encourage you to reflect about the problems you are meeting and the ways in which you are solving them. You will learn to prepare for and conduct business-like meetings with your supervisor and to communicate clearly and effectively with him or her. An important part of your learning will take place in direct discussion with your supervisor.
