Module Format Module Guide (on Brookes Virtual and/or printed copy) includes: learning outcomes that you must achieve to pass the module Assessment tasks, deadlines and marking criteria Reading lists Each module represents 150 hours of student effort; average 10 hours per week per module You are expected to study substantially outside of the contact time.

Learning is a PARTNERSHIP WE can provide the learning opportunities but YOU must take advantage of them Engaging with the curriculum (each module requires 150 hours worth of student effort) Engaging with tutors (available through office hours) Engaging with your peers (team work a critical element in your experience – the whole is great than the sum of its parts!) The first year of your course is critical for success

Your attitude will determine your experience The more you engage the more you will get out of your experience How you present and conduct yourself will determine how others engage with you How you communicate with others is critical Verbal communication Non-verbal communication communication Regular communication Getting the right work/social life balance is KEY
