Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
This module will be delivered through a combination of face to face teaching and independent learning. Face to face teaching will involve a mixture of lectures, tutorials and practical laboratory classes. Laboratory classes will include ‘activity blocks’ during which you will work in small groups to undertake exercises in experiment design and problem-solving. Experimental design and problem solving exercises will be embedded in and supported by lectures. Suggestions for further reading will be provided to support and encourage independent studies.
|
Formative assessment will occur in the form of practical skills assessments, peer review and self-assessment. Within the laboratory, ongoing skills assessments will be performed and immediate feedback given. Opportunities will be provided in the subsequent classroom sessions for feedback, which will aid in preparation of the summative Portfolio assessment (weeks 6). To aid in the laboratory report component of the portfolio students will be given an opportunity, in class time to perform a self-assessment of their own draft report against the marking criteria, prior to the final submission of the Portfolio (week 6).Formative assessment of a draft poster will be performed as part of a peer review process in the class session of week 7. Critical feedback on your own work from others is invaluable towards improving your work. The feedback you receive from classmates will act as a critical feed-forward for the summative poster assessment submission of week 9 and oral presentation of the poster in week 10.
|
Summative assessment will occur in the form of a portfolio to cover LOS 1,2,4,5 and poster presentation to cover LO3. The portfolio will consist of a number of short assessments centred upon the laboratory practicals including an in-lab assessment sheet, laboratory report and short reflective piece. Posters will be produced by small groups of students (3-4 students) and based upon contempory topics in microbiology, assessment will be based upon poster visual content, and short oral presentation from each of the group members.
