Modules
Assessment method
There are two semesters per year. You will typically study 4 modules each semester, with 3-4 hours contact time per module. Methods vary considerably and are chosen to be appropriate to the topic.
Modules often have a 1-hour lecture, supported by practical computing work for the School of Computing modules or smaller group tutorials for the Business School modules.
Assessment of computing modules is frequently by the demonstration of practical skills, either in a time-limited lab session or carried out over a longer period as coursework. More emphasis is placed on exams and written work for the business modules.
