Module Learning Strategies
This module will continue the three inter-related learning strategies for the programme. Taught workshops will consist of interactive presentations, discussion, and critical debate to supplemented by visits to faith groups/centres. Tutorials will allow discussion of the individual research students are undertaking to prepare their assignments. Independent study will allow reading around selected topics, the development of individual responses to the reading and the preparation for the assessed presentation of a case study.
