Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
In this module, you will be taught using a mixture of lectures, tutorials and hands on practical sessions designed to explain the principles of the research process, experimental design and evaluation of information. Online materials will provide you with a grounding in the relevant skills, and you will be expected to engage independently with materials and exercises provided electronically. You will engage in collaborative interactive exercises based on the online materials and suggestions for further study, providing you with opportunities for active learning. You will have ample opportunity to discuss your work with teaching staff, and questions will be facilitated and encouraged during live classes and via Moodle.
|
You will have access to a range of learning resources via Moodle to help support you during your learning, including formative self-assessment tests to allow you to build and test your knowledge and prepare for the summative assessments. You will have multiple opportunities to discuss your Annotated Bibliography with a member of the teaching staff via live meetings and electronically via Moodle and email.
|
Summative tests of the statistics and data analysis component will take place in weeks 6, 9 and 12, and will be administered through online quizzes. Your skills in literature search, critical evaluation, and understanding of peer-reviewed research will be assessed through writing an annotated bibliography (due in week 13), focused on a topic of your choosing.
