Ever wondered what it takes to learn in the right mix of learning strategies??? ...

MAGES has the recipe!

TEACHING AND LEARNING METHODOLOGY

MAGES Institute of Excellence utilizes a variety of Training and Learning

Strategies in our Course Delivery. Teaching, learning and assessment processes

have been developed to ensure that students experience a variety of methods of

learning and assessment. The majority of work within this advanced programme

includes lectures, seminars, demonstration workshops and assessments, with

applied learning through individual and group assignments, participation

presentations, and formal examination. Students are expected to display

experiential learning. Knowledge and skills are delivered through (but not limited

by) the following key strategies:

Individual Tutorials

Students normally have at least one individual tutorial each semester with the

appropriate module lecturers to discuss their work, progress and to give advice

on their programme of study in the particular area.

Group Tutorials

A programme of group tutorials may be arranged for each module either for the

whole student group or, for smaller groups of students. Group tutorials may be

lecturer or student-led and are intended to generate debate about the immediate

issues being addressed. This will inevitably include the wider implications of

those issues and assignments as a whole.

Lectures, Seminars and Practice

Lectures are delivered by module lecturers and occasionally by visiting lecturers.

The programme has links with a number of related businesses and organisations

to provide insights into emerging trends and lecturers are encouraged to

continue their own professional practice. Students are expected to attend all

Lectures and Seminars on time and fulfil the minimum attendance requirements.

Quizzes, Presentations, Tests and Assignments will be provided to track learning

effectiveness.

MAGES Guided Project

Full time students are required to take up a Compulsory MAGES Guided project.

This project provides a systematic approach for project management and course

skills application. Where applicable, MAGES will arrange for industry advisors and

mentors to guide students on project development with reference to real life

case studies. Topic for this Guided project will be determined in advance by

MAGES and Academic Board. Project development will be scheduled throughout

the course duration. As an experience based project there will be no minimum

pass credit requirement.

Additional Strategies

MAGES provides additional learning strategies through Role-Plays; Problem-Based

Learning; Case-Studies; Extra-Curricular Activities etc. to extend knowledge and

stimulate learning. These will be accompanied by Holistic Learning Activities such

as Field Trips; Movie Events; Studio Visits; Game Launches; Local and

International Conferences; Trade Events; Exhibitions and Mentorship Sessions to

nurture students with Character, who are ready for Life Long Learning.
