Module/Unit Guide

For every module you do you will be given a module guide. In this you will find details of how the module will run week by week. What the aims of the module are; what books and articles you should read; what the learning outcomes are and what assignments you will be asked to complete.

For each module, in order for you to gain the 20 credits, you are asked to complete a number of assignments. The details of these assignments can be found in the Module Guide for each module. Assignments can take the form of presentations; reports or case studies; essays; exams; diaries and portfolios. In the module guide it will tell you what the assignment are and also, in the case of written work, how long each one should be.

In the module guides you will also find details of learning Outcomes. These are, very simply, what the tutor wants and expect you to know at the end of the module. So, for example, if one of the learning outcomes read explain the contributions of key theorists to an understanding of how love Capital acts as a ‘bridge’ to the attainment.   What it is saying is that at the end of the module, you will be able to say what some of the key people in the field of education have said about how people including children become able learners (readers and writers).  The point about learning outcomes is that they help tutors plan carefully what they are going to teach you and they help you know what you should pay attention to when you are doing assignments.  Module/Unit guide contains important information about how to reference your written work and assessment regulations.
