• This module looks at some of the principles of communication in technical topics, applied to both oral (primarily) and written communications.
• Three group presentations will be given in front of the class with an accompanying report to explain how that communication was created and planned. These will be spread out across the semester and individual feedback given each time. There will be video feedback of the second assignment.
• There is no end-of-term exam. There is a one-hour in-semester theory exam which will be carried out during one of the lecture slots.
• The content of the module has a solid grounding in fields of cognitive and educational psychology and does not draw on unfounded rules-of-thumb such as ‘one slide per minute’ or ‘no more than 5 words per bullet point’.
• There will be a large degree of creativity and self-learning. Students will be asked to select their own case study material, their own communication topics, and devise their own approaches to each exercise.
• There will be peer-review and discussion of the various deliverables.
• Live lectures will be dedicated to activities that cannot be taught through notes, such as video clips, case studies, discussions, group feedback and brainstorming. There will not be scheduled letures for every lecture-slot in the timetable, but students will be expected to attend the sessions that are scheduled.
