Module will be delivered through a series of weekly lecture-seminars; 3-hours each week in autumn term (weeks 2-11). Individual tutorials can be booked with the tutor. 30 credits at level 6 equates to circa 300 hours of study (3 hours practical computing skills in lab; 37 hours taught; 260 hours independent study). Critical appraisal skills can only be achieved by practice - it is therefore important to undertake key reading ahead of each topic and complete formative preparation on a weekly basis to allow full participation in class discussion. Moodle (online learning environment) will be used extensively to provide supporting materials.

Disclaimer: The University makes every effort to ensure that this information on its Module Directory is accurate and up-to-date. Exceptionally it can
be necessary to make changes, for example to programmes, modules, facilities or fees. Examples of such reasons might include a change of law or regulatory requirements,
industrial action, lack of demand, departure of key personnel, change in government policy, or withdrawal/reduction of funding. Changes to modules may for example consist
of variations to the content and method of delivery or assessment of modules and other services, to discontinue modules and other services and to merge or combine modules.
The University will endeavour to keep such changes to a minimum, and will also keep students informed appropriately by updating our programme specifications and module directory.
