Approaches to Teaching and Learning:
TEACHING AND LEARNING APPROACHES
The module uses a range of teaching and learning methods, including recorded lectures, reflective learning, enquiry and problem-based learning, and interactive tutorials. Students will build on existing knowledge and apply it by creating authentic pieces of work. Reflective and enquiry-based approaches will be used to deepen understanding, while active learning will be a key feature of the interactive tutorials.
All material (slides, recorded lectures, assignments, instructions) will be available in Brightspace. Students are responsible for attending/watching the lectures, reading lecture material as suggested, completing homework and assignments. Students are advised to note any questions they may have on the material and ask these during lectures dedicated to this, or speak to the module coordinator and/or tutor.
REFERENCING
All coursework and assignments in the module must follow the Harvard Referencing Style. Both in-text citations and a full reference list are required to acknowledge all sources. Proper referencing is essential to avoid plagiarism and to allow others to locate and evaluate the research. Guidance and examples are available on the UCD Library resource 'Cite Them Right' and in the Brightspace page of the module.
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
Students are responsible for ensuring the academic integrity of all assessments submitted in this module, in accordance with the UCD Plagiarism Policy. The module coordinator will take all necessary steps to verify the integrity of submitted work.
USE OF GENERATIVE AI TOOLS
The use of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) and Large Language Models (LLMs) is prohibited for any coursework, assessments, or submissions in this module unless explicit permission has been granted by the module coordinator. Unauthorised use, or failure to properly acknowledge and cite these tools when permitted, will be considered plagiarism and academic misconduct under UCD’s Academic Integrity Policy.
POLICY UPDATES
All policies, related documents, and forms are subject to amendment. Students should regularly consult the UCD Registry, Secretariat and Library websites for the most current versions of policies, regulations and guidelines.
