Industrial placement/work placement/year abroad: NA 35. Liaison between the Level 2 Schools/Institutes involved: NA Part E: Learning, Teaching and Assessment Strategies 36. Learning, Teaching and Assessment Strategies: The Learning, Teaching and Assessment strategy for the programme ensures that the subject-based learning outcomes (section 26, above) are delivered and that students have the opportunity to develop the key skills (section 27, above) during their year of study. The strategy draws upon the requirements and recommendations of professional accrediting bodies such as AACSB (The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business). A number of learning goals have been defined for AACSB 11 of 17
accreditation purposes and modules are reviewed annually to ensure that there is evidence of learning in relation to each of these goals. The AACSB goals are embedded in the outcomes and skills sections, above. The AACSB requirement that all learning goals must be assessed is now a formal part of School strategy and any proposed changes to the assessment methods used on a module are scrutinised by the Board of Studies in relation to both the programme s requirements and the AACSB requirements. The School s strategy requires that a diverse range of assessment methods should be used throughout a programme. This ensures that students have a range of assessment opportunities in which to provide evidence of their learning. The benefits of this are twofold. Firstly, there are wider opportunities for students to develop essential learning and employability skills, including teamwork, presentation skills, independent learning and written communication. Secondly, the School recognises the diversity of its student body and that some students may perform better in some types of assessment than others. By offering a range of assessment methods, the School ensures that all students have opportunities to excel as well as opportunities to develop their skills in assessment areas where they feel less confident. 36 a. Learning, Teaching and Assessment methods: The mode of delivery of taught modules is by online learning. This mode of study enables students to pursue modules via home study. Module delivery involves the establishment of an online classroom in which a relatively small group of students (usually 15-20) work under the direction of the module instructor, using an internet-based distance learning package. Module delivery proceeds via a series of one-week online seminars, each of which typically includes: An online lecture, and other learning materials, posted electronically to a public folder in the online classroom. assignments, which may include both reading assignments and practical work, results from which are posted to closed folders in the online classroom. Class discussions and group-based project assignments, facilitated and moderated by the class instructor, carried out within open folders. Communication within the online classroom is asynchronous, preserving the requirement that students are able to pursue the module in their own time, within the weekly time-frame of each seminar. Two broad principles inform the teaching and learning strategy: constructivism, and collaborative enquiry. Constructivism describes a view of learning in which students construct their own unique understanding of a subject, through a process which includes social interaction so that the learner can explain understandings, receive feedback from teachers and other students, clarify meanings, and reach a group consensus. Collaborative enquiry via internetmediated communication provides a framework for this mode of learning. The aim is to use the medium to foster the creation of a learning community which will enable dialogue between participants, sharing of information, and collaborative project work. This mode of learning is particularly appropriate when, as in this case, the students themselves will often bring to the class knowledge and expertise that is outside the experience of the module teacher, 12 of 17
and which can be shared with the group. A key feature of the approach is the use of moderated discussions of material introduced in the online classroom. Every taught module includes, each week, a discussion of topics specified by the instructor. Participation in these discussions is a requirement for students attending, and forms part of the basis for assessment. This requirement ensures a continuing commitment from the students to the learning process. Assessment is entirely based on work carried out in the online classroom, including contribution to discussions, weekly assignments, and longer individual or group-based projects. The weighting assigned to each component is prescribed separately for each module. The main aim of the assessment strategy is to verify the achievement of learning outcomes within the broad framework of the degree classification, i.e. at Pass (threshold), Merit and Distinction levels, rather than to produce a fine-grained classification. Projectbased modules, including in particular the concluding major dissertation or consultancy project, are also carried out online, normally via individual supervision. All communications that take place within the online classroom, including all assignments carried out by students and assessments by instructors, are recorded and are available for scrutiny by staff with appropriate access permissions. This enables two aspects of quality control: Module delivery is monitored by staff of the University of Liverpool Management School e-learning Unit to ensure that defined syllabi, procedures, and assessment processes are followed, appropriate standards are maintained, and to check for plagiarism. All assessment is subject to moderation both by the Management School e-learning Unit and by the external examiner. All students, at the start of the Programme, complete a (non-assessed) online induction module to gain familiarity with the learning system and software being used. This serves an additional purpose of verifying the English Language skills of any students for whom this is not their first language, before the start of the Programme proper. The methods of assessment to be used on the online programme include: collaborative activities that take into account theoretical understanding of management, quality of dialogue with peers, contribution to debate; coursework assignments that include individual written work that relate theory to practice; project work that may be individual or group-based and cumulative over the time of study in the class. Over an eight-week period during which a class would normally run, 15 points of assessment usually occur. The following table provides the typical assessment model for all MBA modules apart from the intake module which runs over 12 weeks: 13 of 17

Assessment information for students: Code of Practice on Assessment X X X Module project (X) X (X) X 30% Personal development plan (PDP) The University has a Code of Practice on Assessment which brings together the main institutional policies and rules on assessment. The Code is an authoritative statement of the philosophy and principles underlying all assessment activities and of the University's expectations in relation to how academic subjects design, implement and review assessment strategies for all taught programmes of study. The Code of Practice includes a number of Appendices which provide more detail on the regulations and rules that govern assessment activity; these include: The University marks scale, marking descriptors and qualification descriptors; The framework for modular, postgraduate programmes; Information about students progress, including guidance for students; The procedure for assessment appeals; Regulations for the conduct of exams; The University s policy on making adjustments to exam arrangements for disabled students. The code of practice relating to external examining (see also below) The Academic Integrity Policy, which covers matters such as plagiarism and collusion and includes guidance for students; The policy relating to mitigating circumstances which explains what you should do if you have mitigating circumstances that have affected assessment; and The policy on providing students with feedback on assessment. Please click here to access the Code of Practice on Assessment and its appendices; this link will also give you access to assessment information that is specific to your cohort: A summary of key assessment information is also available in the Your University handbook. Marking criteria: Each student's work in a module is assessed to provide an end-of-module grade that should represent work which typically has the characteristics described below: 50% (X) X (X) X 20% Assessment Points 1 3 2 2 1 3 2 15 1 Grade Description 14 of 17
A* High Distinction-level work [Exceptional work Instructor is intellectually challenged by the student s contribution]: Factually almost faultless; authoritative coverage of topic; strong evidence of outside reading/research; substantial elements of originality and independent thought. Perceptive; aptly focused; very well written and directed. Exceeds all requirements. A Distinction-level work: Displays in-depth understanding of material; comprehensive coverage of topic; good evidence of outside reading/research; originality of thought or approach. Enlightening; well focused; very well written and directed. Exceeds most requirements. B Merit-level work: Factually sound (few, if any, minor factual errors); thorough understanding of material; evidence of relevant outside reading/research; some originality of thought or approach. Regular use of effective logical thinking, critical analysis and judgment. Suitably focused; well written and directed. Meets all requirements. C Pass-level work [Satisfactory work Worthy effort but undistinguished outcome]: Essentially correct, possibly missing important points, but no serious errors; good understanding of material but tending to be descriptive in approach; limited evidence of outside reading/research. Competently structured and reasonably well focused, but some weaknesses in expression / presentation. Possibly using large amounts of quotations. D Marginal work: Displays only limited understanding of material; incomplete coverage of topic; some significant factual errors and/or irrelevancies. Entirely descriptive in approach. Poorly structured; lack of coherent argument; difficult to follow. Substantially above or below the word limit. Possibly using excessive amounts of quotations. F Unsatisfactory work: Evidence of inadequate effort. Many serious errors / misconceptions / omissions / irrelevancies. Poorly directed at targets. Poorly structured; lack of coherent argument; difficult to follow. Substantially above or below the word limit. Possibly using excessive amounts of quotations. The majority of taught modules last for 8 weeks (the first module lasts for 12 weeks), and students receive grades for several items of work carried out each week. All these grades, whatever the weight of the individual assessment, will be based on the six-point scale: A*, A, B, C, D and F. The steps are as follows: a. For the purpose of averaging, the letter grades are replaced by numerical values as follows: A*=84, A=74, B=64, C=54, D=44, F=0. b. The series of weekly grades, now represented by the values noted above, are averaged separately for each component of assessment to produce the average component marks. c. The contribution to total mark is obtained by multiplying each component average by the corresponding weight shown in the final column 1. It should be noted that the weights are prescribed separately for each module, and can be found in the module specification. d. The total of the contributions calculated above produces (after appropriate rounding) the final mark for the module. It is this mark that will be used to determine the degree award and for inclusion in the Transcript. 1 These individual contributions need to be available explicitly and will be extremely relevant when students are allowed to resit one component rather than having to resit the whole module. 15 of 17
38. Student representation and feedback: A Staff-Student Consultation Committee is established in accordance with the University Code of Practice on Student Representation. The Staff-Student Committee will normally meet three times per year. The membership of the Staff-Student Committee, its terms of reference, and the manner in which it conducts its business will conform to the requirements of the Annex to the Code of Practice on Student Representation. Elections to the Staff- Student Committee will be carried out within the structure determined by the University Student Representation Steering Group. The Director of Studies will forward the student views and feedback to the Board of Studies and if appropriate to the module coordinator concerned. Actions and recommendations for actions by the board of studies resulting from the student feedback will be communicated back to the students through the Staff-Student Committee and informal channels (email, online notice boards etc.) One student will be elected by his/her fellow students on the course to act as the spokesperson to liaise with the Director of Studies on any general course issues which may arise during the course. In addition, this student will be co-opted onto the Staff-Student Committee and will liaise back to the student cohort. At the completion of the programme each student is requested to fill in an evaluation form covering the overall structure, delivery and perceived benefit to the student. Results of the evaluation are fed back to the programme team and the Board of Studies. Part F: Status of Professional, Statutory or Regulatory Body Accreditation 39.
