| Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
A mixture of face to face and independent learning will be employed on this module to support your learning. Face to face teaching will involve lectures and smaller group tutorial classes to cover key concepts. Smaller group sessions will allow discussion of key challenges and focus on deepening your understanding of key concepts and ideas. You will be expected to work independently using a range of resources provided online via Moodle to develop your knowledge and practice your skills development in preparation for assessment submissions. The skills learned and the materials used on this module will be directly relevant to the assessments in other modules on your course. There will be a single component of assessment comprised of a portfolio which will evidence the skills and knowledge learned across the module. The expectation is that small pieces will be submitted on a weekly basis to maintain engagement and allow you to monitor your progress. Feedback will be given from week 6 onwards. The portfolio will assess all learning outcomes and will be composed of 10 pieces ranging in size but gradually building to a final submission which brings together all the elements from the module (LO1-5). To ensure every learner is as active as possible, all classes will contain collaborative interactive exercises, and questions are encouraged within all face to face teaching and via Moodle.
|
Formative feedback will be available on earlier elements of the portfolio to help improve your performance on the later elements. Drafts will be discussed in class and examples of good practice will be shared during teaching sessions to help you to understand the requirements of a well written submission (LO1). You will be actively encouraged to share areas of concern both in the classroom and online so that feedback and support is provided in a timely manner to ensure that you make progress on the module over the course of the semester (LO5).

There will be a single component of assessment for this module, which will take the form of a portfolio comprising of 10 pieces of work to be submitted on a weekly basis over the course of the module (LOs 1-5). The final piece will be a larger piece of work that will pull together the skills you have built up over the course of the module. Feedback will be provided on the key submissions from week 6 to allow you to incorporate this feedback into the later submissions. The elements of the portfolio will comprise aspects similar to the following; Skills evaluation form (LO2), Reflective pieces on the challenges and successes around skills development, paraphrasing and referencing activities (LO5), evidence of oral and written communication skills and a final written piece of scientific work of around 800 words on a topic related to the discipline of study (LO4).
