The delivery pattern for this module is flexible with each centre choosing a method suitable for the students involved but typically it will be a one hour lecture and 2 hour practical per week. This module is intended to facilitate the development of transferable skills as well as providing students with useful guidance with respect to the use and effect of Computing and IT in Society. Wherever it is studied, it is anticipated that independent study will play a major role and that some part of the module will be used to assist students in the development of skils which help with this.
