Teaching, Learning and Assessment Methods
您将通过两种相互关联的方法进行学习。首先，使用一系列专门编写的学习材料、案例研究、原始文本、学习指南和作业，以及一系列多媒体材料。其次，您将被分配一名导师，他是您的第一个也是主要的联系人。
您的导师将回答有关学习材料、成绩和作业评论的问题，并根据您所学习的模块安排在线辅导。我们还鼓励您参加所学习模块的在线讨论论坛。这让您有机会与同学、导师和模块团队分享和解决问题。
形成性评估采用非正式活动和自我评估问题 (SAQ) 的形式，可让您评估自己的进步和理解。对课程知识和理解部分的正式评估是通过一系列导师评分作业 (TMA) 实现的 - 通常每个 30 学分模块有 3 个作业。
这些作业由您的导师评分和评估。它们是模块教学的核心，因为它们让您有机会展示您的知识和理解。这将使导师能够发现任何有关的问题并提供适当的反馈。
Although assignments are usually undertaken on an individual basis, some modules have group-based assignments that use online discussion forums. Modules may also include computer-marked assignments or examination papers. Currently, most modules within the technology management programme include an end-of-module assessment, in place of an examination.
那些对处理复杂情况既有专业兴趣又有责任的人会发现这个硕士资格对他们的工作很有用。它还将为那些想要进步的人提供机会来展示他们发展新技能的潜力。模块选择的灵活性使您可以根据自己的需求定制内容，并且可以应用于广泛的领域；包括健康、教育、环境、国际发展、社区参与、制造业、IT 和科学。
系统思维和实践研究提供了同样适用于公共和私营部门的知识和理解。如果您是自雇人士，您还可能会发现，通过学习此模块组合所获得的知识提供了机会，可以更客观、更创新地看待他们已经创建的系统以及如何在未来改变这些系统。
