Approaches to Teaching and Learning:

This module utilized some of the key teaching and learning approaches used in higher education such as:
(1) Active/task-based learning; which is an approach where the planning of learning materials is based around doing a task.

(2) Peer and group work: which is a form of voluntary association of members benefiting from cooperative learning, that enhances the total output of the activity than when done individually.

(3) reflective learning: which is a process that facilitates a deep, transformative, and unique learning experience. The insights students will gain about themselves as they engage in the summer project, working as part of a team, are not things that can be learnt in a book or taught in a classroom.

(4) Case/Problem-based learning; which is a student-centred pedagogy in which students learn about a subject through the experience of solving an open-ended problem found in trigger material.

(5) Student presentations: which require students to present the outcomes of their projects individually or in a group.

(6) Dissertation critical writing: this involves reporting all of the outcomes and findings in a structured and rigorous manner with proper justifications and referencing.

Feedback Strategy/Strategies

• Feedback individually to students, on an activity or draft prior to summative assessment
• Group/class feedback, post-assessment
• Peer review activities

How will my Feedback be Delivered?

The students will work with an academic and an industrial supervisor. Both supervisors will provide continuous feedback on the progress of the students within their projects. Final feedback will be provided at the end of the module where the students will understand their strength and weakness in an accomplished summer project.
