This is a compulsory unit for the CDT students to undertake as part of the 7-month TATE course. The unit is designed to give students experience of a mechanism for creative thinking and problem solving.
This group activity will be assessed, real time, by the facilitators (Course Manager and academics) who will provide feedback to the Director. Any deficiencies or gaps in cohort's knowledge that are identified in these sessions will then be corrected in following weeks in an active positive feedback loop (e.g. by providing additional staff workshops if required, such as Staff-led Problem Sessions). The Course Manager will be looking for positive attributes in individuals such as leadership, engagement and interaction with group members. Conversely, the performance of individuals who display low levels of engagement will be discussed with the Director. The Course Manager and Director will discuss low engagement with the relevant student(s) if necessary. This is a pass/fail compulsory attendance unit.
