Method of teaching and learning

The teaching philosophy of the module follows very much the philosophy of Syntegrative Education. This has meant that the teaching delivery pattern, which follows more intensive block teaching, allows more meaningful contribution from industry partners. This philosophy is carried through also in terms of assessment, with reduction on the use of exams and increase in coursework, especially problem-based assessments that are project focused. The delivery pattern provides space in the semester for students to concentrate on completing the assessments.

  
  
  
The teaching sessions are divided into two components (Lectures and seminars).

  
  
  
Lectures will focus on case studies of visual media design across a number of media platforms.

  
  
  
Seminars will focus on the generation and articulation of visual ideas and their potential design.
