Teaching and Assessment Teaching Lectures and seminars - Modules are usually taught by way of a mixture of lectures and seminars (discussions in seminars are often led by students). Depending on its credit rating, you can expect to have one or two hours of lectures per week for each module and a one-hour seminar each week or fortnight. Other teaching and learning strategies will include participation in workshops, case studies, presentations, fieldwork and external visits. Those who elect to do a work placement year will also be provided with preparatory workshops and tutorials. Private study – Your work also consists of private study, for which module and personal tutors will provide guidance, of up to 30 hours each week.
