LEARNING AND TEACHING

Learning and teaching methods

This section sets out the primary learning and teaching methods, including total learning hours and any specific requirements in terms of practical/ clinical-based learning. The indicative list of learning and teaching methods includes information on the proportion of the course delivered by each method and details where a particular method relates to a particular element of the course.

The information included in this section complements that found in the Key Information Set (KIS), with the programme specification providing further information about the learning and teaching methods used on the course.

Level 4: Learning is supported and enhanced by both formal contact hours with tutors and by personal/tutorial support. It is recognised that students come from varied backgrounds and both the Induction Week (first week), Course Leader sessions and the integration of key skills required into core modules provides an environment where students are able to succeed. Structured handouts, reading lists and studentcentral intranet are utilised to add value to student learning. First year modules are designed to provide students with a strong foundation for the remainder of the programme. Level 5: In the second year, students are encouraged to be more independent in their approach to study and to accept responsibility for their learning and accountability for determining and achieving the outcomes. Students will be expected to research, analyse, and evaluate a wide range of information and communicate this effectively. The combination of classroom and other, less formal approaches to study is seen as aiding development of an active and independent learner.

Level 6: In the final year of the programme, even greater autonomy of learning is essential, with students accepting responsibility and accountability for their workload, priorities and outcomes. It is recognized that the diversity of students including top-ups at level 6 is considerable. Therefore, during Induction Week a range of underpinning sessions are arranged. Not only do these address the more practical issues of welcoming and integrating new Level 6 students to the campus, school and programme but there are also workshops on skills and research methods to ensure a baseline of knowledge and understanding. Students need to demonstrate the capacity for critical evaluation of knowledge, concepts and evidence from a range of sources. This will be further enhanced by the Dissertation or Placement Project where students will demonstrate the ability to critically review, synthesise and extend a coherent body of knowledge in a systematic manner. The teaching modes will be a mix of classroom, workshops, and tutorials. The aim will not only be the acquisition of the best possible degree classification but also to prepare students for employment, and for further study if desired.

Modules are valued at 20 credits with the exception of the Dissertation/Placement Project SM630/SM639 that is valued at 40 credits.

Each module is designed around the premise of 20 credits being equivalent to 200 hours of student study time; this normally includes contact time as follows.

Contact hours Non-contact hours

Level 4 48 152

Level 5 and 6 44 156

SM630 Dissertation 13 387

SM639 Placement Project8 24 376

of 13 2015

The dynamics of teaching and learning styles changes between the levels as can be seen from the outlines of the levels above and every module has a blended learning approach where teaching and learning methods may include:

During formal contact hours (Face to face learning)

Theory lectures

Discussion group / Debates / Seminars

Workshop activities

Guest speakers

Field trips

Student presentations

Digital technologies for computer assisted learning

Group and individual tutorials During non-contact hours (Online learning)

Studentcentral: e.g. review of study materials

Online case studies

Independent research

Directed reading

Online videos: e.g. YouTube, TED

Employability is embedded at all levels of the course. In addition to explicit modules such as SM502 at Level 5 and SZ674 at Level 6 both of which incorporate placement elements encouraging professional growth, students also encounter aspects of employability through projects, (e.g.: TT530, SM633, SZ695), field trips (e.g:TT403, TT407, SZ601) guest speakers (e.g: TT407, TT600, SZ605) . Links between taught environment are aligned to employability in terms of skills and case studies throughout the course.

of 13 2015

The Applied Professional Based Learning module SM502 utilises a blended approach to work/practice/volunteer-based learning, offering an opportunity to combine both theoretical business and management concepts with practical application. The learning outcomes and assessment are developed around a voluntary placement work based project that integrates the projects actions, implementation and outcomes and also engages students in critical commentary of project. The module aims to enable students to:

* review personal development and employability opportunities arising within an independently chosen work-related setting relevant to a student’s course.

* develop student awareness of their personal strengths and weaknesses and encourage reflection and goal setting.

* develop knowledge and understanding of ways in which different individuals, cultures and organisations operate, linking theoretical elements of their course to the practical/work environment.

There is an optional work placement element that students may undertake between levels 5 and 6. Students taking this option will undertake a Placement Project instead of the Dissertation. This option is not available to top-up students.

The School has a dedicated resource for employability that supports the development of placement modules. The Employability Hub situated on the Hillbrow site offers support for students across all levels. Specifically the remit of the unit, is to endeavour to stimulate, facilitate, coordinate and monitor employability activity across the school including:-

the operation of placements both voluntary and compulsory, part time and full time

support and facilitate the development of curriculum elements that directly contribute to employability,

sponsor and encourage extra curricular activities that build employability and support retention

application of learning and teaching methods that enhance employability

support staff development and learning

facilitate, through the maintenance of databases, the continued development of contacts with employers

maintain and build relationships with alumni

ASSESSMENT

Assessment methods

This section sets out the summative assessment methods on the course and includes details on where to find further information on the criteria used in assessing coursework. It also provides an assessment matrix which reflects the variety of modes of assessment, and the volume of assessment in the course.

The information included in this section complements that found in the Key Information Set (KIS), with the programme specification providing further information about how the course is assessed.

The course contains some compulsory assessments not included in the breakdown provided on the KIS because they cannot be directly linked to credit. For example a pass/fail skills test included in one of the

modules or as a course requirement. Full details of assessments within a module can be found on the University’s VLE, student central.

The method of assessment and performance grading is designed to comply with the University of Brighton’s General Examination and Assessment Regulations for Taught Courses (GEAR), annually updated.

Assessment Philosophy: Assessment of student performance will serve to promote, reinforce and consolidate learning. The assessment will also both develop student skills (key, personal and academic) and test learning outcomes in order to pass the appropriate modules. The learning outcomes are stated in each individual module descriptor. Students are given explicit assessment criteria in order to address the learning outcomes and achieve the classification appropriate to them.

Assessment on this programme reflects a work related ethos and therefore, assessment reflects the following:

methods of assessment should reflect the future management activities students might engage in, such as working in teams, writing reports, making presentations, appraising others

modes of assessment should develop students’ self-confidence and self-evaluation

assessment should encourage and support peer collaboration and appraisal.

Assessment Methods: The course is designed to enable students to participate in a range of summative assessment methods, which may be undertaken as an individual, in a group or as a pair, these include: written pieces of work; e.g. essays, reports, case studies, dissertation; exhibitions; presentations; computer simulations; in-class tests; practical tests; self or peer assessed; student led discussions; examinations, seen and unseen questions, multi-choice, time constrained. Examples of the variety of assessment can be found below: Level 4 SM401 – Economics and Finance - Task 2 (30%) Individual set exercise using a specially prepared spreadsheet package to analyse business financial information. 60 minutes SM406 – Organisations, Management and People - Task 2 (70%) An individual, 2,500 word, ‘live’ case study report on an organisation’s approach to the recruitment and development of people. The student will be required to engage in individual desk research relating to a specific organization of their choice. TT403 – Impacts of Tourism – Task 1 (100%) Individual essay, 2,500-3,000 words, on the impacts of tourism on a destination of the student’s choice

Level 5

SM527 – Research Methods - Task One (50%) An individual 2,500 word research proposal on a topic related to student’s course of study TT523 – Tourism, Planning and Development - Task 1 (30%) Group seminar oral presentation on given title (20 mins presentation max) Task 2 ((70%) Individual essay on a chosen title (2500 words) TT530 – Tourism in Action - Task 1 (80%) A portfolio of tasks, in groups of 4-6, consisting of two tasks: Part A (30% of overall grade) Marketing Launch: 20-25 minute oral presentation. Part B (50% of overall grade) Annual General Meeting: 40-45 minute oral presentation.

of 13 2015

Level 6 SZ695 – Public Relations - Task 1 (70%) Group (of 3-4 students) PR account management exercise. Continuous assessment of the task over a 5 to 6 month period of time assessing various aspects of the group’s ability to manage a PR account as evidenced through a portfolio of evidence with an individual equivalent up to 2000 words. Single mark awarded for the group but moderated with statements of contribution where required. SZ611 – International Co-operation for Development - Task 2 (60%) An individual 4 minute video that critical analyses and evaluates the role of the stakeholder and partnerships within international cooperation for development; and reflects on the personal and professional experience gained during the fieldwork component of the module.

All modules include formative assessment. Assessment design is aligned to the University’s Assessment Policy and is regularly discussed, and reviewed as part of the programme monitoring and evaluation process. At every level of study, in at least one core module, (TT407, TT524, TT600) the student is able to choose an alternative assessment. Special attention is paid to:

Inclusivity.

The appropriateness of assessment to the curriculum.

Designing assessments which encourage learning and engagement for all learners.

Aligning assessment with learning outcomes.

Assessment Details: Assessment details will be provided to students at the beginning of each module. This will include the assessment deadlines, the weighting of pieces of assessment, if there is more than one, the assessment criteria and how they link to the module learning outcomes.

Assessment Marking and Feedback: All modules are marked using the assessment criteria, as given to the students. All modules are moderated by the module team, and/ or a relevant tutor if only one tutor teaches, to ensure consistency. A sample of student work at level 5 and 6 are reviewed by an external examiner which adds a further level of moderation scrutiny.

Feedback on assessed work will be returned to students normally within 20 days of the submission date. Feedback will be detailed in terms of strengths and weaknesses of the work and will comments on how the student can improve. Tutors and the SaSM administrative team record assessment progress.

Assessment Grading: Assessments are graded with a percentage mark, these grades are aggregated according to the percentage weighting of the individual pieces of assessment. Each module will be awarded an overall percentage.

Assessment Information for Students: Details of assessment procedures and regulations are available to students as part of their student handbook when enrolling.
