Module Learning Strategies
This module incorporates three inter-related learning strategies. The day-long workshops will be used for the consideration of core issues and key tools and techniques relating to project cycle management. The tutorials will allow discussion of the individual critical research that students are undertaking to prepare their portfolios. The independent study will allow reading around selected topics, the development of individual critical responses to the reading and the preparation for the portfolio.
