It is The assessment strategy is designed to provide learners with the opportunity to demonstrate a critical appraisal of the current academic research into management and leadership. Learners will be required to provide empirical evidence of the efficacy of their own leadership style in practice within the context of their own organisation and their role as a senior leader.

Summative assessment:

Individual report - 90%:

Learners will be required to produce a 2,500 word report on how they have applied the learning from this module in the workplace. The report will require them to provide a short literature review on the elements of management or leadership theory that they are focusing on as well as a detailed analysis of the effectiveness of their own leadership style. Learners will be expected to provide demonstrable qualitative or quantitative evidence of their analysis and how this relates to the academic literature and informs their overall conclusions of their own leadership style.

Learners will be required to critically reflect on and evaluate their own leadership practice within the context of their role as a senior leader within their own organisation. Learners will be required to produce a critical reflection of their own learning through the submission and delivery of a 20 minute presentation. The presentation will need to be delivered through a live webinar format to the module leader and programme manager.

Formative assessment

Learners will work regularly in groups and as individuals, participating in classroom or online discussion forums and webinars, to demonstrate their understanding of the subject contents and application. Learners will be required to complete online guided learning activities that demonstrate the ability to analyse key components of organisational strategy. Awareness will be built up by learners being required to lead and participate to share understanding and knowledge

of elements of organisational strategy. For example, learners may be required to present online a short presentation containing information from their organisation. Learners will receive peer feedback as well as comments from the academic and industry subject matter experts.

Feedback

1. Teaching of Theory. (May include lectures, role play, simulation exercises, online learning, research and networking)


2. Practical Training. (May include shadowing, mentoring, industry visits and participation in guided activities to apply the theoretical knowledge, concepts and models in the day-to-day working practice).


3. Learning support and time spent writing assignments and partaking in assessments.


4. Reflective learning and self-evaluation to impart new knowledge, skills and behaviours only. (E-portfolio)

Learners taking this module will cover theoretical aspects with a mix of campus-based sessions, online and self-directed learning activities.  Learners will be expected to demonstrate commitment to independent learning and take an active part in any asynchronous activities such as forums, wikis and blogs, as well as synchronous activities (i.e. virtual meetings) where appropriate.  Participation in these activities, with emphasis on the self-directed learning activities, will be essential to the successful achievement of learning outcomes in this module.

Indicated Lecture Hours (which may also include seminars, tutorials, workshops and other contact time) are approximate and may include in-class tests where one or more of these are an assessment on the module. In-class tests are scheduled/organised separately to taught content and will be published on to student personal timetables, where they apply to taken modules, as soon as they are finalised by central administration.
