1. Module Overview

This section provides the formal information about this module. It may be helpful in setting your expectations for study.

Mode:
Face-to-Face

Structure:
The module is structured as a series of tasks run on a week-by-week basis. The materials and tasks for each week will be made available as the course progresses.

Reveal:
Each week, a new section will open up, and various new readings and activities will be revealed. After their designated end date, activities will also start being locked off, but will remain visible.

Participation Pattern:
Activities will be both synchronous and asynchronous. For asynchronous activities, there are no set times for participation, if you complete the activity within its two-week window. Some activities require discussion, and you should expect to participate at different times during the two-week window, rather than bundling participation into a single burst of action.

Communication with staff and other students:

We are aiming to meet weekly through a synchronous session using our dedicated weekly time slot. The timetable for these activities will be shown on Moodle under each week.
