Teaching and Learning Strategies |
|
Lecture/Seminar: A weekly lecture provides key theories and information in a structured format . The session includes seminar-style discussion to promote active learning allowing for small group work and whole class input. The discussion enables student participation and interaction. Presentations/peer learning: Through peer discussion students identify and present the key themes/issues emerging from their individual projects. Class presentations give an overview of new and emerging issues connected to globalisation and the music industries. Group tutorials: Students are provided with guidance on their projects and presentation. Attendance is recorded. Unscheduled directed student hours: Students are directed to develop and research individual projects. They are directed towards class reading and tasks for the seminar sessions. They are also tasked with collaborating within a small group to produce a group presentation . |
