Learning, Teaching and Assessment Methods
The objective of the course is to develop knowledge, skills and analytical ability of students to enable them to enter a successful career in business organisations. The general approach to the learning process involves:
The assessment strategy is designed to ensure the learning outcome are achieved and that there is progressive development of knowledge and skill.
At level 4, students are expected to describe, explain and review concepts, theories and models. At level 5, students apply, analyse and evaluate; and at level 6, independent learning is more embedded, and students develop a depth of understanding via critical analysis and evaluation. The assessment strategies within the specialist modules provide more challenging opportunities for developing critical analysis and evaluation through problem-solving, case studies and the dissertation.
Formative assessment is a key feature of the programme enabling early feedback to be given on progress and to help students improve performance. Assessment at all levels is by coursework, practical tasks and examination, with some modules being assessed by 100% coursework. The course is designed to give students the opportunities to undertake work-based learning and enterprise activities which can form part of the learning and assessment of the programme.
At Level 6, students may choose to undertake one of the following research-based options (Normally students at partner colleges will not study these options alongside other optional modules):
The dissertation is a research project which is based on a topic to be investigated and the outcome is likely to answer a set of research questions. The dissertation is expected to be submitted in the form of a thesis. Formative feedback is provided by regular discussions with the dissertation supervisor and through comments received on draft chapters.
The consultancy project is based on a business problem to be solved or an opportunity to be explored. The outcome of a consultancy project is likely to be solution(s) identified and/or implemented by the student. The final outcome is submitted in the form of a consultancy report. This report will explain and justify the steps taken throughout the project and the outcomes achieved. On-going formative feedback will be provided throughout by the organisational contact/sponsor as well as by the university tutor.
The Negotiated Work Based project is a means to address a learning and development issue rather than solving a problem or exploring a research question. The outcome will primarily be learning gained, and practices improved. The final report is likely to revolve around a reflective learning process, explaining, justifying and analysing learning projects. For example, it could follow an experiential learning cycle several times to critique and evaluate learning gained from various experiences. Formative feedback will be gained from college tutors – with the emphasis throughout being learning achieved rather than tasks achieved.
