Introduction to the module
Welcome to SH6000 Leadership and management in professional contexts.
We hope you find this module informative, stimulating and practical. It has been designed to enable you to learn new concepts, theories and policies and test out the principles of management through carefully designed activities during the module. This module is appropriate for those who will be working in teams and or alongside the public sector - social care, community nursing, youth work and youth studies, primary care and those working in community sector organisations, third sector and social enterprises. You will be expected to draw upon your learning and skills developed here and be able to apply them to your own practice.
The module will be taught through lectures, exercises and practical exercises- so the more you put in in terms of engagement, the more you will get out of the module.
I hope you find the module useful and enjoyable

Teaching and learning approach
How you will learn
The module will be delivered in range of ways: interactive workshops based on problem solving and analysis of live issues and real cases, personal study, private reading, reflective writing and thinking in advance of class attendance, case studies, critical incidents, role play and small group work, video clips, formal lectures and personal reflection. Keeping a reflective diary for this module is useful.
We will also be using WebLearn - guidance will be given during the module about how to best use this. It is designed to support your learning providing access to wider reading and resources to help you to prepare for each session e.g. websites, policy documents and articles and or to revise and deepen knowledge after sessions e.g. lecture notes. It is not possible to pass the module using lecture notes on WebLearn alone. A central element of the programme is the critical reading and reasoning followed up by writing regularly throughout the course - this develops through the class and group activities which are necessary to pass and achieve high marks, as well as sharpen your skills for the working environment.
Learning in groups
You will be allocated to a small group of around 4-6 people - ideally with students representing a mix of different courses or professional interests. You are likely to be in the same group throughout the programme. Normally each class based session will have small group activities (see sessions later) following this you will then rejoin the larger group to debate key issues. The purpose of these groups is to allow you to explore in an informed way the concepts and policies that impact on management. It will help to develop your ability to be self-aware and self-critical in relation to your own development and assess implications for practice and management of services. The quality of group work is important to help challenge and inform your thinking about management and team working. You will have the opportunity to set ground rules within your group.
________________________________________
Study hours outside contact hours
Students are expected to study independently away from the class. This includes keeping abreast of media and other coverage of the subject area, and carrying out independent and guided reading. This 30 credit module requires 300 hours of study time.
________________________________________
Assessment Strategy
Everything we do during the module is to help you to build up the knowledge and skills you will need to complete your assessments successfully. There are informal individual and group work exercises and self-assessments, peer-review, reflective writing tasks. These informal exercises are designed specifically to help you build the knowledge and skills you will need and so that we can give you feedback.
The formal assessment is via a presentation and a workbook, pass on aggregate. This means that it is possible to pass the module if you fail an element, but pass on average.
Assessment type Description of item % Weighting Qual Mark Tariff Week due
ORL 001 Presentation 25 40 13 14
CWK 002 Workbook 75 40 3600 words 29
Please note the word length of the written work. Students will lose marks if the completed work is significantly too long, or too short.
________________________________________
Advice on your work
We want to help you to achieve your full potential in your work. However, as third year undergraduate students, you need to be able to work independently. The feedback process for this module is set out below:
• You will be given the opportunity to practice your presentation, and staff will be available after Christmas to give you advice
• Surgery style seminar sessions will allow you to discuss progress with your Seminar Tutor for Section 1.
• You may discuss the rest of the workbook with your seminar leader as a group (not individually). Dates have been set aside to do this in the timetable above. The group may only meet the seminar leader once about the section of the workbook.
We will not discuss the assessment with you unless you have read the assessment details and the workbook carefully.
We will only offer advice on the sections of the handbook up to the deadline date for each section:
• Section one- 16th December 2016
• Section two- 17th February 2017
• Section three- 28th April 2017
• Section four- 19th May 2017
Assessment one – group presentation (25% of the total mark for the module)
You are to carry out a 20 minute group presentation in the teams you set up at the start of the semester.
Your group presentation should:
• Briefly set out a case study of a management situation. This situation is one that you have developed, and which allows you to explore aspects of management theory you have covered so far
o Please note that this will not include management style which is tested in the workbook
o Examples of case studies can be found on weblearn
o This is 10% of the mark for the presentation mark
• Set out your analysis of the context to the case study. You should carry out research to find the extent of the problem locally and/or nationally. For example, if the case study is about stress in a care home, you should demonstrate research into stress levels among health and social care professionals
o This is 20% of the mark for the presentation mark
• Apply two management theories you have covered so far this year in lectures. You need to explain the theory- but the main aim is to APPLY the theory to the case study you have set out
o You are required to apply relevant leadership & management theories to your case study. You may also use either Tuckman or Belbin- but not both
o Please note that the focus is on the application of the theories to the case study you have outlined- not for describing the theory
o This is 40% of the total mark for the presentation
• Set out some recommendations to improve the situation in the case study
o This should relate directly to the case study you have outlined, and to the theories you have chosen
o This is 10% of the mark
• Be carried out effectively. This includes evidence of team work, and presentation skills. Your references for the presentation should be included in the final slide in Harvard style
o This is 20% of the mark
Please note the proportion of the mark which is awarded for each element- this should guide you on how long you should spend on each element of the presentation. There should be an equal contribution from each group member and a group mark will be awarded. The Module Leader reserves the right to award differing marks across a group where a lack of equal contribution is evident amongst group members.

Handing in work
Handing in work is absolutely vital if you wish to continue on your course. If you know you will have valid reasons for not handing work in on time, you must either apply for an extension or for mitigating circumstances.
Below is a quick summary of what to do if you are not able to hand work in. Full guidance is in the University Regulations, but the best advice if you are in this situation is to approach the Undergraduate Office for advice as soon as possible.
All work must be handed in by the assessment date set out in this handbook. If you are unable to do this, there are two options:
1. Exceptional coursework extension
The University requires all students to submit their work on time. This process is for students who encounter exceptional circumstances which prevent them from submitting a coursework component by the due date. This applies to unforeseen events that directly affect you when are about to hand in work- not for ongoing conditions or situations. Please note that IT problems of any sort will not be accepted as a reason for an exceptional extension.
If you have such exceptional circumstances, please read the instructions and notes below fully before submitting a request.
This is for handing in work a maximum 5 days after the designated hand-in date. If your extension application is accepted, you will still get the full mark. If your extension application is refused, you will then have to submit your coursework at the re-sit date and the mark will be capped.
The earliest you can apply for an extension is two weeks before the hand in date.
The latest you can apply for an extension is 24 hours after the assessment deadline.
You make a request for an extension via Evision. The request button is in the ‘my modules’ section. Do not email staff directly
This procedure only applies to coursework and is only for the first sitting- it does not apply to work that is being re-presented.
For further information, please see the university website:
https://metranet.londonmet.ac.uk/registry/$services/$coursework-exams/ecep.cfm
2. Mitigating circumstances
This is for situations where you will not be able to hand in work on time, or you need more than the 5 days allowed for an exceptional extension.
Mitigating circumstances are for when you have compelling reasons why you cannot hand work in. This could be illness, or particular family circumstances, but would not include ‘pressure of work’.
You can download a form from the University website; you should complete this and hand this in at the Undergraduate Office with any relevant evidence. A University Panel will consider this application. If the Panel accepts your reasons, you will be able to submit the work, and the mark is not capped - you will receive the full mark awarded for the work. If this is the case, you will be required to submit at the next opportunity- which is usually the Summer reassessment date.
If mitigating circumstances are refused, you will have to submit your coursework at the re-sit date and the mark will be capped. This means that your maximum mark will be 40%
For further information, please see the university website:
https://metranet.londonmet.ac.uk/registry/$services/$coursework-exams/mitigating-circumstances.cfm
What if I fail the module?
If you do not pass the assessment, you will have one more chance to submit the work. This is usually in the summer resit period (July 2015). It is your responsibility to check your mark when the marks are published and take action. If you do not pass, it is a good idea to see the module leader to go through the reasons for failing, and to collect written feedback. As well as the overall comments provided for your work, there will be useful feedback written on your work. So make sure you get this and read it carefully. It is also a good idea to ask the module leader to check the work before it is resubmitted.

Avoiding plagiarism
Plagiarism involves passing off someone else's work as ones own. This might be from a published source, such as a book or article, or the work of another student or person helping you.
Copying of sentences, phrases, paragraphs or even certain expressions, without appropriate acknowledgement, is likely to constitute plagiarism. Paraphrasing another person's work is also plagiarism, if it not appropriately referenced.
Reference to other people's work and ideas must be made clear and obvious in the text. It is not sufficient simply to include the source in a bibliography.
Please note that plagiarism is taken very seriously at the University. You could fail this module, or even be suspended, if you break the academic rules.
If you are not clear on rules governing plagiarism, please talk to the module leader. Alternatively, you can access a useful guide to avoiding plagiarism at:
http://learning.londonmet.ac.uk/TLTC/learnhigher/Plagiarism/
All course submissions are routinely checked for plagiarism
________________________________________
Attendance
You are required to attend all teaching sessions of this module. If your attendance is unsatisfactory, the module leader will arrange that you are withdrawn the module. Before doing this, the module leader will email you to inform you of this.
If there is a specific reason why you cannot attend a particular session, you must contact the module leader in advance of the lecture. If the reason is accepted, it will be noted on the register as an authorised absence. You will only be granted authorised absence for one week; if the absence is longer you must discuss this further with the module leader.

Appendix one- expectations of student behaviour
Our expectations of student behaviour in class
As students of LondonMet, you know that we ask you to behave in the spirit of our University’s Student Charter, which sets out what you can expect of the University, and what we expect of you. The Charter is an important document, but it might be helpful to you to know that in the Faculty of Social Sciences & Humanities we have developed a checklist of ‘dos’ and ‘don’ts to help you understand how we expect you to behave on campus.
The behaviours in the ‘Do’ section below are those we have found to help everyone study effectively and get the most out of their time here, with the best possible qualification when graduation comes round; those in the ‘Don’t’ section are disruptive and distracting, and would affect not only your own performance but that of your fellow students in class. You should be aware that if a student persistently behaves in a negative way, the Faculty invokes the Student Disciplinary Procedure, which can lead to a student being excluded from class or even excluded permanently from the University.
Please do …
attend all timetabled classes for your modules; email the lecturer beforehand if you cannot attend a lecture, and give your reasons for this
do any preparatory reading or work for your class beforehand
arrive on time for every class, and stay till the end; inform the lecturer before s/he begins if you have to leave early
sign in for every class
switch off your mobile phone at the start of the class
ask the lecturer for permission before taping a lecture
use your iPad, tablet or other electronic device for taking notes
take notes of the lecture or seminar discussion
ask questions of there is anything you don’t understand
listen respectfully to other people’s opinions in discussions
contribute to class discussions
check the Weblearn site for your modules regularly and frequently for information and help, and for any changes in rooms or timetabling
respect your lecturers and always follow their instructions
Please don’t…
miss classes unless you are unwell
turn up without having prepared for the class
arrive late or leave early: missing parts of the class means you learn less – and so do your colleagues
sign in for friends who are not in class: this really doesn’t help them in the long run
make or answer phone calls during a class
use your iPad, tablet or any other electronic device for playing games in class, texting, checking for texts, messaging, web-browsing for non-relevant material, tweeting, going on Facebook and so on – all of these behaviours will distract you and others from learning
bring food into class, or eat during a class
talk while others are trying to contribute to class discussions
refuse to follow instructions from a lecturer or other member of University staff
