These tasks are designed to drawn on existing understanding so the student can progress own knowledge and understanding through discussion, reflective activities, personal case studies and taught sessions. Having to think, write and communicate at this level requires students to develop these skills. These are integral skills that are developed over time through class activities, development of professional practice and writing essays. 3.8 4.4.1 4.4.4 interact effectively within a team / learning group, manage learning using resources for the discipline communicate effectively in a manner appropriate to the discipline (in standard English oral, written, using ICT) take responsibility for own learning with Library and other research exercises Group work awareness and practice Computer-based learning and assessment Class and seminar interactions and 2,3,5 2,3,5 Coursework of all types Assessed discussions Group work assessments Level 4 CORC1013 CORC1054 Level 5 CORC2015 CORC2012 CORC2013

Risk taking that is incorporated into the learning experience embedding of theory in practice through a sophisticated contextual appreciation of own work within the broader subject field evidence of a highly reflective approach to the evaluation their own work a high level of motivation, organisation and effective time management full and active participation in the learning experience the ability to fully articulate their views through appropriate arguments from informed opinion innovative communication of ideas through imaginatively presented fully documented work
