I think modules can be said to be parts of a course -- whichever course that might be. I don't understand the need for hyphenation for two choices of the module as shown below. Is to make them to represent one concept (of that part idea?) the purpose?

A choice of modules:

Academic Culture
Team-Working
Problem-Solving
  

Top answer
