Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
A combination of interactive lectures, tutorials, problem-solving exercises and analyses (LO 1-5) will be used to provide background information and to develop employability skills. These include communication and teamwork, planning and organisation, and information and data interpretation. Workshops will be used to highlight examples of the effects that symbiosis has on host biology. Students will be directed on how to investigate appropriate interventions. The workshops will provide a framework for the topics covering the Group Presentation coursework.
|
Working in groups, you will be required to investigate a particular topic using primary literature (LO5) and produce an Individual Plan. You will also be required to review an Individual Plan submitted by a classmate and provide critical feedback on that piece of work. Individual Plans will be randomly distributed amongst the class and both the author and reviewer will remain anonymous. The critical feedback from your classmate will act as feed-forward for your summative assessment, so we expect all students to engage in a critical and helpful manner (as a ‘critical friend’). This will be done in sessions in weeks 3, 5 and 7.You must also complete an ‘Individual Reflection’ before your final submission, demonstrating how you have used the formative feedback you received earlier to inform the preparation of your final work.You will also be encouraged to reflect upon previous relevant feedback, and devise ways of putting what you have learned into practise.
|
Working in groups, you will be required to investigate a particular topic using primary literature (LO5) and produce a final group presentation submitted to Moodle. A formal examination at the end of the module will be used to test the knowledge, understanding and skills attained (LOs 1-4).
