Teaching and Assessment Teaching Staff expertise The course lecturers are at the leading edge of their fields and internationally and nationally recognised for their work. They are often widely published and have good links with industry, so they know exactly what is going on in the commercial world. How many hours of study are involved? In Levels 1 and 2 you will have about 18 taught hours a week. This falls to 12 hours of lectures and seminars at Level 3, with at least one whole day of project work. You will also have regular appointments with your final year project supervisor at Level 3, a series of project specific lectures, and subject specific peer mentoring groups led by academics to support your project work. In addition to this, staff are normally happy to answer queries outside this time. We operate an open door policy where you can drop in and chat, or email lecturers with your questions. Students are expected to carry out a total of 40 hours study a week, including contact hours. How will I be taught? Lectures – These provide a broad overview of key concepts and ideas relating to your course and give you a framework from which to carry out in-depth study. Studios –These are normally stand-alone three hour sessions in which students can develop, understand and practice using industry standard equipment. They provide an informal environment in which to explore new ideas and apply what you have learnt in lectures. Workshops – In a workshop you will work on more complex problems with guidance from a member of staff. This might involve producing an artefact or a design solution. Workshops allow you to develop new intellectual and practical skills and also serve to reinforce material learnt in lectures.. One-to-one – You will get one-to-one supervision for all major project work in your final year
