Use this section to provide details of the method of delivery (lectures, seminars, fieldwork, lab work, etc.) used to enable the achievement of learning outcomes and indicate the number of hours for each activity to give an overall picture of the workload a student taking the module would be expected to undertake.
Two examples follow, the first comes from the School of Business and Management and describes a Level 6 module in Global Supply Chains. The second comes from a Level 6 Module in the Department of English entitled 'The Revolution Controversy'. Thanks to both Schools for making these available to us as exemplars.

Teaching and Learning Strategies
The module is taught via a weekly two-hour seminar, the format of which will vary throughout the semester. The reading sets primary texts alongside modern critical approaches. Whilst some weeks might require you to read a novel, others will offset the examination of an important piece of scholarship with primary material of much shorter length. Seminars will typically begin with a presentation offering important contextual information for the texts under consideration; these will be delivered in a semi-formal fashion, and may vary in length between 20 and 40 minutes. Seminars will then follow a workshop-style format, which might include group-based discussion, the completion of writing exercises, and the provision of opportunities for individual reflection. In general, however, the emphasis will be on our collective endeavour to explore the issues that are at the heart of the module.
The course pack will contain most of the required primary and secondary reading for the module. You must also buy William Godwin, Caleb Williams; Or, Things as they Are, and Mary Hays, The Memoirs of Emma Courtney. As the longest piece of set-reading on the module, it would make sense if you were to spread your reading of Caleb Williams across the first part of the semester. Further learning materials will also be available via the VLE.
