POL6023 - Co-Created Module for Policing

Objectives:

Assessment tasks are designed to enable students to demonstrate the Learning and Employability outcomes for the relevant level of study. Level Learning Outcomes are embedded in the assessment task(s) at that level. This enables a more integrated view of overall student performance at each level.

Content:

This module will be formed in collaboration with students, utilising their knowledge and experience gained over the programme to inform their choices of a taught module based on contemporary issues in modern policing.

Their subject choice will include conducting academic research, with ethical consideration. It will include reviews of current literature to inform their thinking and provide a knowledge base for their critical thinking in relation to the issues in modern day policing. It will highlight the student knowledge, ability, and graduate expectations of a professional police officer.

The students will then present their work encouraging debate and discussion and be able to defend their approach using a cohesive and evidence-based argument, providing knowledge, gaps in knowledge, and suggestions for future directions.

Students will co-create the content in this module and inform teaching methods based on their preference for learning.
