Approaches to Teaching and Learning:
Obair neamhspleách bunaithe ar a bhfuil pléite sna léachtaí. Réamhphleanáil na n-aistí agus athbhreithniú nuair a bhíonn na haistí á gcur le chéile.
*Dath Dearg: Níl cead ag mic léinn intleacht shaorga (IS) ghiniúnach a úsáid don mhodúl seo.*
*Traffic Light Red: Students are not permitted to use generative artificial intelligence (AI) in this module.*

Ionracas:
Dob fhéidir go loirgeodh an comhordaitheoir comhrá ort faoin gcur chuige i gcás na hoibre a cuireadh isteach, chomh maith le scileanna / coincheapa ábhartha a scrúdú, agus dob fhéidir, dá réir, tionchar a bheith aige seo ar an ngrád a bhronnfar ar an obair féin.


Intleacht shaorga:
Ní cheadaítear úsáid na hIntleachta Saorga Giniúnaí (Generative Artificial Intelligence) in aon chuid de mheasúnú an mhodúil seo, cé go bhfuil cead úsáid a bhaint as uirlisí eagarthóireachta (amhail spell- nó grammar-checkers) atá bunaithe ar an Intleacht Shaorga ar leibhéal níos ginearálta. Tá an-tábhacht ag baint le forbairt na smaointeoireachta criticiúla agus scileanna um struchtúrú argóintí / anailíse i gcomhthéacs obair scríofa an mhodúil seo, an scrúdú ina measc, agus goideann úsáid na hISGin croí-dheiseanna lárnacha uimpi sin ón iarrthóir.
