Methods of Teaching / Learning
The learning and teaching strategy is designed to develop studio craft skills and knowledge of the working with professional broadcast equipment to produce a live television programme. The students will learn professional production development for a television programme and apply it to their own production. All students will specialise in one area during the pre- production leading to the Television programme.
The learning and teaching methods include:
• 10 hours of lectures
• 6 hours of seminars
• 21 hours of studio rehearsal workshops
• 113 hours of self directed study and additional TV studio access for programme preparation
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. This will usually be after the initial publication of the teaching timetable for the relevant semester.
