Approaches to Teaching and Learning:

This is a project based module made up of a series of labs. These labs will consist of a mixture of self-directed and interactive group learning led by some initial lecture material or activities by the module coordinator and occasional guest tutors as well as opportunity to work towards the development of the policy brief. Students will be expected to prepare in advance and for sessions based on independent study activities. Students will be supported to engage in group work and to value and bring their own perspective to class and group discussions and informal presentations. Use of AI is permitted for idea generation and brainstorming, initial essay structure, and organisation of referencing. Use of AI in these instances must be pre-approved by the module coordinator and referenced. Please consult the module Brightspace page for further information.
