Assignment Task
Strategy
The module will be built around weekly workshops. Students will be required to regularly attempt exercises applying techniques and concepts introduced during these sessions. The majority of tasks will be undertaken on an individual basis but on occasion group work will be required and in all sessions peer support will be encouraged, and tutor support offered.
