Approaches to Teaching and Learning:

Students will partake in active learning within the practical and lecture components of this module. During the practical series students will have an opportunity to actively analyze the practical content. The module will also have lecture based learning, and reflective learning will be supported with the aligned reading material

Generative AI: You may use AI for planning, idea development, and research. Your engagement with AI stops when you begin to create your submission. Your submissions should therefore be authored entirely by yourself and should show how you have developed and refined these ideas. You should keep a comprehensive record of all outputs generated by AI, and may be required to document these as part of the activities, or present them on demand. An appropriate AI tool may be used to correct grammatical errors and improve the language of text you alone have authored. You must not allow the AI tool to alter the sense of any text, offer a critique of or modify any arguments.
