Learning / Teaching Methods
This course is delivered via the internet using an online educational environment called WebCT. Students will be given a username and password to log in to the course. A 'unit' of course material will be released every week for students to work through and class discussions on the material will take place in the online forum.
Students are required to participate with the tutor and each other in the discussion forum, and readings and viewings may be set which form the basis of these online discussions. Students are also required to post responses to individual questions set by the module tutor in the discussion forum as part of their assessment. Class discussions are asynchronous - i.e. students do not need to be online at a 'set' time - they can leave and collect messages at a time suitable for them. Essay consultation takes place with the relevant tutor by telephone, internet phone (e.g. Skype), e-mail or via the discussion forum for this module.
A chat room facility is also available. This is entirely optional, but students can arrange a mutually convenient time to communicate with each other 'instantly', by means of this facility, if they would like more immediate contact with others studying this subject.
Assessment
To gain credits for this module, students will be marked on the following assessments:
- One essay of 5000 words (90% of module mark).
- Participation in the discussion forum (10% of module mark).
Please see the filmography for this module for further details.
