Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Teaching on this module will be by lectures, tutorials and workshops. The workshops may be run in the laboratory. You will be expected to participate in all sessions and are encouraged to form study groups to aid their learning.Tutorials and workshops will build on information covered in the lectures and will include examples of case studies for you to work through and to get formative feedback prior to their summative assessment.
|
Tutorial sessions will be used throughout the module in weeks 2,4,6,8 and 10, to work through case studies which demonstrate what happens in a variety of animal species when the internal environment is disrupted. The information will consist of data on physiology and on pathophysiological changes which occur and can be identified through a variety of techniques eg blood sampling, urine sampling, histology, immunohistochemistry. These case studies will be written in the same format as the summative assessment, and so will provide feedback to students as they work through the questions about the cases. The formative case studies will culminate in a summative assessment which will be a case study.
|
A case study using data from a human or non-human species. The data will contain “normal” parameters and also data from a disease state. You will be expected to interpret the data and to explain what it means in terms of normal and abnormal physiology. They will also be asked to explain the aetiology of the condition. The case study will consist of a data interpretation and a series of questions; you are required to reference their information. Students will have a choice of case studies from which they choose one case.
