Module specification
Module specification is statement of the aims, objectives/learning outcomes, content, learning and teaching processes, mode of assessment of students and learning resources applicable to a unit of study.
Specification is an attempt to make transparent not only the syllabus content but the whole mode of delivery and support for learning on the module.
For UMIST (2001) a module specification is:
a concise statement of the learning outcomes expected from successful completion of a particular part of a degree programme, including information on the curriculum, study and assessment methods used to assess performance.
For the University of Nothampton (2012):
A module specification identifies the content and assessment scheme for a unit of study.
