In History, the overall approach to TLA is to provide a coherent package of content, modes of delivery, and forms of assessment that relate closely to the Programme's objectives. The approach is also defined by a clear and progressive structure: *Each level of the programme will identify broad desired outcomes *The modules at each level of the programme will present a coordinated pattern of assessment tasks designed to achieve the level-wide objectives *Teaching and learning tasks will be closely related to the stated outcomes for each level of the programme *Marking will specifically address the outcomes attached to that assessment task. *Feedback will be given to student that directly relates to the success or otherwise, of their work in relation to the desired outcomes. Individual students will be assisted, post-assessment, in the development of courses of action to address particular issues raised by their working practice *At all stages of the Teaching and Learning process students will be made aware of the nature of the tasks in hand, both orally, through the module handbook, and the module specific VLE site *The module handbook will also provide a structured weekly guide to the required reading *The approach of the subject areas is strongly informed by the belief that successful teaching and learning is the product of sympathetic and collaborative interaction between student, tutor and the subject matter. The forms of delivery deployed include: *Lectures These introduce students to the wide-ranging content of the programme. They also introduce students to the issues raised by academics on particular topics. *Seminar Discussions These focus on participation, and are designed to engage students' active engagement and participation, to enhance confidence, and to reinforce a sense of the nature of academic debates. They are also design to enhance students' sense of belonging to and ownership of the discipline. *Primary Source Workshops Primary sources are the raw material of the disciplines. In these sessions interact directly with such material *Individual Tutorials These provide one-to-one sessions that address the progress of specific individuals, commenting on work submitted, discussing approaches to being undertaken *Supervisions These take place at Level 6. In them tutors provide structured support for students as they undertake their own research projects. *VLEs All modules on the programme have dedicated VLEs. These provide module handbooks, lecture and seminar materials, course details and further supporting materials, book reviews, primary sources, web-links. Forms of Assessment include: *Essays, used throughout the programme, these enable students to construct supported arguments, display knowledge, engage with academic debates. *Textual Analyses, of primary sources, developing the ability to engage with the subjects' raw materials, in the process honing crucial research skills. *Journal Summaries, these enable students to engage with academic debates, and develop close reading skills and theability to identify the key elements of an argument. *Book Reviews, these enable students to familiarise themselves with the world of academic discussion, and the interlocking web of scholarship that underpins the world of scholarship *Analyses of Journalistic/Visual/Cultural and TV materials, these enable students to relate academic analyses to the wider world of political, cultural and social debate. *Presentations, these develop students' communication skills and increase their self-confidence. *Dissertations/Video Project/Special subject Long essays, these, at Level 6, enable students to demonstrate their abilityto produce a piece off extended research, and also enables them to demonstrate their ability to work independently In English Literature, delivery of modules involves a range of teaching and learning strategies. The programme deliberately employs a variety of approaches in order to provide a stimulating and challenging experience for students. Specific details of these are provided in the individual module documents. Assessment strategies are similarly / equally varied. The PDP enables each student to reflect on assessed work, and to identify strategies to resolve problems and develop skills. Level 4 assessment prepares students for summative assessment at level 5, as Level 5 assessment does for Level 6. Subject knowledge and understanding will be acquired through lectures, seminars, workshops, small group work, guided reading and VLE activities. In addition to these means, from Level 5, there is more emphasis on guided secondary / critical / theoretical reading and research, and this is developed even more at Level 6. Intellectual skills at Level 4 will be taught explicitly in all modules. Intellectual skills at levels 5 and 6 will be promoted generally through lectures, seminars, small-group work, and individual practice of skills, with feedback. Individual module descriptions

outline which skills will be promoted in particular modules. Key skills at Level 4 will be taught explicitly in all modules, but in particular, in the modules LIT 1012 Practical Criticism and LIT 1013 Critical Reading. At Levels 5 and 6, key skillswill emerge from all modules, e.g. learning and study skills such as effective note taking, project and essay writing skills, and timing and revision skills. Bibliographic and information-search skills will similarly be promoted throughout the programme, together with word-processing skills. Level 4 modules will address these issues explicitly, and they will be reinforced in all level-5 and level-g modules, though especially the period-survey modules (LIT 2020, LIT 2021, LIT 2022, LIT 2023, LIT 3021, LIT 3022, LIT 3023, LIT 3024). Awareness of academic malpractice and how to avoid it is contained in the B.A. English Programme Handbook and will be reinforced in all modules, especially when advice is being given on essay writing. In line with the University's standard procedures, all summative assessments will be uploaded through the Turnitin plagiarism detection software, and guidance will be given from level 4 onwards, and throughout the programme, on howStudents can use Turnitin as a tool for helping to ensure that their work is referenced properly. Oral skills will be promoted formally in modules where presentation, e.g. of research findings, forms part of the module, e.g. at level 4, . Where this is not the case, oral skills will be developed via, e.g. contributions to seminar discussion, or to small group discussion. Written communication skills are possibly the major transferable skill promoted within the English Literature programme, as they are required and assessed at every level of the programme, in every module, in both summative assessment, and sometimes also in formative activities. Organisational skills are developed throughoutthe programme as students are required to learn to manage deadlines, which will necessitate forward planning and time management. Information technology skills are vital components of the work of most modules. All modules use virtual learning environments to enhance and support the student experience. Independent learning and autonomy is increasingly developed. At level 5 the students receive support and guidance in production of extended pieces of work. At Level 6, the choice of topics and approach to a project is expected to be more independent, though general guidance is still provided either prior to project choice, via lectures and seminars, or through individual or small group supervisions. The dissertation involves maximum autonomy as it is not tied to an ongoing taught course, but a minimum level of guidance and supervision is mandatory. There is an instructional session at the beginning of the module on general issues such as the use of ICT and electronic resources, and each student must have a minimum of 6 supervisions with their supervisor. Technology-enhanced Learning All modules on the programme are delivered using face-to-face teaching and learning sessions. An appropriate VLE such as Blackboard 9.1 will be used to support the delivery of all modules and independent learning through, for example, providing module handbooks, assessment details, active learning activities (e.g. quizzes, forums), web-basedand computer-based learning resources, and to share programme-level information. In addition, the provision of feedback through email may be used in some modules. Independent Learning Independent learning strategies will be used in all three levels of the course to supplement tutor delivered activities and other specific learning activities. These will take various forms including directed reading of module texts or journal articles, structured practical projects, video materials, provision of support materials such as digital recordings, and access to reference materials. Independent learning will be supported through the use of an appropriate VLE such as Blackboard. Independent learning activities at each level may be structured as follows: Level 4 At Level 4 independent learning generally takes place within a tutor directed framework. Activities may include directed reading from key module texts, directed learning and study skills activities, completion of directed practical class exercises, and computer-based learning. Level 5 At Level 5 directed reading has an increased emphasis requiring students to consult a wider range of module texts and journal articles. Other activities may include computer-based learning, completion of directed practical class activities, individual and group practical work, associated formative work, and preparing presentations on individual and group projects. Level 6 At Level 6 independent learning will require a significant degree of student autonomy with respect to reading, project work, dissertation research (including planning, execution and completion) and report production. Directed elements willinclude reading, computer-based learning, and the completion of directed workshop exercises. Assessment A typical student might, during the course of a degree programme, produce short and long(er) essays of a traditional type; critical histories, analyses and / or reviews; critical blogs; a dissertation; and other types of writing, including annotated bibliographies. Students will also be required to work under time constraints in examinations and class tests

25. FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT

and to give individual and group oral presentations within time-constrained periods. The effect of this varied assessment diet is that students have the opportunity to demonstrate their ability and understanding in a multiplicity of formats, requiring them to show flexibility and awareness of audience. Furthermore, the assessment strategies provide evidence of the acquisition of knowledge and skills to meet the identified learning outcomes of the individual modules and the programme. The variety of assessments used at Level 4 will provide students with an opportunity to experience most of the main forms of assessment used in Levels 5 and 6 of the programme. The assessment experience of individual students at levels 5 and 6 depends upon the modules chosen and the distribution of the modules in the timetable. All modules include an ILO that requires students to "demonstrate the ability to work to a brief, e.g. employ appropriate academic apparatus, abide by instructions concerning word length, style and content". These skills are absolutely central to success in the subject, as reflected in the Programme Aims and Programme Learning Outcomes, which draw on the The QAA Framework for Higher Education Qualifications in England, Wales and Northern Ireland (August 2008) and itsdescriptors for a Higher Education Qualification at Levels 4, 5 and 6. Most modules employ some sort of summative assessment in the middle of the module and one at the endpoint of the learning process. This is a very deliberate strategy in the light of formal and informal student feedback about their preferences, since students have often made the point (e.g. in Staff-Student Consultative Fora and at Programme Boards) that they appreciate a shorter first summative assessment before a longer, more heavily-weighted summative assessment at the end of a module. For this reason, modules that were validated with one summative assessment weighted at 100% in 2006, and / or at the major modification in 2008, often had to be amended via a minor modificationto include two summative assessments instead, and the programme team are keen to avoid a repetition of this scenario. Most modules do not attempt to assess exactly the same learning outcomes with more than one assessment, although some modules / module leaders take the view that learning should be developmental and that students should therefore have an opportunity to be tested on learning outcomes, to receive feedback on their attempts and then have an opportunity to improve their performance. The specific assessment requirements for each module will be communicated to students at the start of the module, usually through the module handbook and via the VLE. Students receive written feedback on all coursework in the form of constructive and developmental comments and recommendations on assignment coversheets. Students are encouraged to consult module tutors for further verbal feedback should they wish it. At Level 4, the PDP includes an opportunity for the student to consider their assessment feedback with their personal tutor, to identify any particular weaknesses that need to be addressed. The English Literature subject team work closely with the University's Inclusion team. A variety of modified assessment patterns are available for Students with Specific Learning Difficulties, and alternative assessments will be made available for all examinations so that an alternative is in place for all students with SpLD who are unable to take them.

Seminar work, which might consist of oral and written responses, short quizzes, presentations, group work, mock exams, and other activities, might be construed as constituting formative assessment, as modules are always designed to inform the work later produced for summative assessment. Modules provide specific formative exercises in preparation for forthcoming summative assessment, especially where the latter will require students to display new kinds of analysis, or new skills. Module-specific detail is often given in MT1s. English Literature modules always seek to make use of formative exercises in preparation for forthcoming summative assessments. The programme uses a diverse and appropriate range of both formative and summative assessment methods (see below) which are in line with those suggested by the QAA Subject Benchmark Statement for English (2007,section 4.8). The rationale for this is to facilitate learning and understanding, and to allow the student to demonstrate progress and achievement appropriate to their level of study.
