All modules in the University should be formally reviewed after each delivery point, taking into account student performance, student module feedback and tutor-reflection, to ensure the curriculum remains current and research/practice informed, and to ensure that there is continuous enhancement of delivery and assessment. Module Review provides the detailed foundation for Programme Directors to complete the Annual Programme Review process, and is ultimately integrated into the Quality Review process.
Further information on can be found within Developing New Modules and Reviewing and Enhancing Modules.
Six sections of Module Review
1. Module Co-ordinator summary report
