Module Learning Strategies
This module incorporates three inter-related learning strategies. The two day workshops will be used for the development of the core issues in managing change in the voluntary sector. The tutorials will allow discussion of the individual critical research students are undertaking to prepare their reports. The independent study will allow reading around selected topics, the development of individual critical responses to the reading, and the preparation for the work-based individual report.
