problem solving

Teaching/Learning Methods and Strategies

Cognitive skills are developed across first and second semester modules. The numerical and statistical components of the modules, particularly in Research Methods module, focus particularly on problem solving, logical reasoning and data management and analysis using statistical packages. Independent enquiry, critical evaluation and interpretation, abstraction and assimilation are key elements in all modules. Self assessment and reflection are developed by formative feedback particularly on small group presentations.

Methods of Assessment

Assessment of cognitive skills, both summative and formative, occurs in the form of course homework, oral presentations, project work and examinations.

the ability to synthesise information/data from a variety of sources including from databases, books, journal articles and the internet

Teaching/Learning Methods and Strategies

Transferable skills development will permeate the teaching and learning on the degree programme. Small group teaching sessions, discussions with industry experts, practitioners and more traditional lecture enquiry will be used to guide the learning experience.

Methods of Assessment

Transferable skills development will permeate the teaching and learning on the degree programme. Successful completion of coursework requires students to gather information from a range of sources, select and assimilate relevant information and to complete tasks within deadlines. Assessment of coursework requires students to use a range of media (eg worked solutions and proofs, essays, PowerPoint presentations, statistical-based project work) to demonstrate their learning. Students also acquire the ability to write projects , which includes the skill of reading and summarising academic articles. Students will be able to analyse financial statements, apply investment strategies and understand the role of performance measurement and governance in profit and not-for-profit organisations.

the ability to construct arguments and exercise problem solving skills in the context of theories of accounting and finance

Teaching/Learning Methods and Strategies

Abstraction, quantitative, qualitative and evaluation skills, through theory building, manipulation, application and evaluation, are at the core of this degree programme. Consequently, these skills are built across modules and throughout the duration of the programme through small interactive teaching session, traditional lecture sessions, independent reading and application of theory to practice, worked class examples.

Methods of Assessment

Both summative and formative assessment methods are used throughout all modules.

Summative assessment takes a variety of forms. In some modules end-of-semester examinations are used to gauge and assess understanding and the acquisition of knowledge. Cumulative assessment is also built into all modules to assess ongoing understanding. A variety of forms of cumulative assessment are employed, (i) practical computer based work in the research methods module and, (ii) a mixture of class tests, group and individual presentations and essays in the accounting and finance modules.

Formative assessment takes three main forms. First, weekly homework in most of the modules aimed at promoting subject-specific understanding, logic, accurate calculation and good presentation. Secondly, weekly discussion of key theories and academic readings in accounting and finance to develop understanding, logical argument and critical assessment. Thirdly, timely feedback is provided on the content and performance of student presentations.
