Abstract

The Department of Business and Management Studies in the Crewe+Alsager Faculty of Manchester Metropolitan University runs a large HND course in Business Studies and Finance. As student numbers have increased on the HND course, tutors have needed to seek strategies for the management of effective teaching and learning with large student numbers.

This paper reviews those strategies in relation to lectures, seminars, reading and information sources and assignments. Individual tutors have evolved different strategies using a mix of control and independence strategies as appropriate to their module and its learning objectives.
