Teaching & Learning Strategies: Learners are expected to work independently on their project. Weekly meetings with their project supervisor provide general guidance, advice and encouragement throughout the project life-cycle. A project diary (reflective journal) is maintained by the learner and must be signed by the project supervisor on a weekly basis. The project presentation provides the learner with valuable experience of presenting their work within a public setting. The project is scheduled to run as twelve weeks, full-time, block at the end of the course's academic year. In addition, a number of project preparations lectures are delivered prior to the module start to educate the student as to what is required of them in this module.
