Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
The learning and teaching methods cover the learning outcomes and support them in various ways. LO1-6 are covered in face-to-face workshops and laboratory sessions to enhance your understanding with practical applications. Pre-recorded material will be provided in preparation of the weekly workshops. The workshops will deepen your understanding by problem solving exercises which are partly group work and partly individual focused. In your self-study time you are expected to prepare for the laboratory sessions.
|
Online tests will be posted on Moodle fortnightly and should be completed by the following week to allow effective progression to the next test, working towards the final, summative online test. These online tests ensure a continued learning and regular engagement. You will receive immediate feedback after each online test. Laboratory based problem solving exercises will be scheduled fortnightly. You will learn to connect concepts and scientific principles by applying fundamental knowledge to real world problems. Laboratory based self- and peer-assessment of practical skills teaches you self-evaluation and makes you aware of topics and skills on which you may require improvement.Direct feedback is provided during workshops and laboratory session on your laboratory book notes.
|
Component 1:The laboratory book assessment addresses LO3&4 and also serves to assess whether you have achieved a required level of GLP and identify improvements needed. Component 2 (3 elements):Class tests (digital examinations) will cover areas of mathematics (LO1), laboratory calculations (LO2) and biological and environmental chemistry (LO5&6).
