SYNOPSIS
 
This is a dynamic module, where students are expected to take part in analysis of real http://www.ukassignment.org/assignmentgs/ world examples using information gained by direct observation.
The module considers the issues that practising cultural managers are likely to encounter within their organisations and contributes to an awareness of a framework of the general competencies required by a cultural manager.
The environmental context of the cultural sector and the support structures available to professionals working in the sector, including central government and regional agencies are explored.
Students will be provided with opportunities to develop an understanding of the complexities and challenges that can occur within cultural management situations. Also the processes of critically assessing and analysing situations that may not be clear cut, may contain shifting perspectives and possibilities and may require judgements to be made on partial evidence within cultural sector context.
Throughout the module students will work individually and in groups on a series of non assessed formative tasks which will help to develop the knowledge and skills needed for the single 4,000 word summative assessment at the end of the module.

For campus based students teaching and learning takes place primarily in lectures, seminars and group critiques all of these activities are supported through the e-learning portal with additional teaching material, discussion boards, blogs and interactive tasks.

The module will be delivered through a range of teaching and learning methods, including seminars, guest speakers, case studies and practical exercises, and where possible guest speakers and visits.

The structure of directed and guided learning linked to class based formative exercises will assist the student to construct an understanding of the organisational management.

Summative Assessment

Throughout the module students will work individually and in groups on a series of non assessed formative tasks which will help to develop the knowledge and skills needed for the single 4,000 word summative assessment at the end of the module.

Feedback strategy

Within the seminars the tutor will provide oral feedback where appropriate relating to individual and team working, communication, research, performance, knowledge, analysis and transferable skills.

Summative feedback will be provided in writing to students within three weeks of the submission date and this will be individual focused feedback. In addition, generic module based feedback will be circulated to all students within the same timescale.
