Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Lectures and tutorials cover LOs 1-3. On campus sessions are interactive, containing data handling and interpretation exercises to reinforce your knowledge and understanding of the topic. Questioning and discussion are encouraged during face-to-face sessions. You will be provided with reading prior to each lecture as preparation. Some, short, pre-recorded introductory lectures will be provided online to support your understanding of basic concepts, prior to tutorial sessions.Considerable, bespoke online resources (via Moodle) are used to support teaching and reinforce your learning. You will be able to access a large repository of useful and relevant information to consolidate your learning and gauge your progress through the module.A series of practical laboratory sessions will complement the lecture material and will enable you to become proficient in a range of new skills, as well as increase your confidence in the laboratory environment. In addition to practical training and teamwork, you will be taught to accurately record, interpret and present laboratory findings at an appropriate scientific level (LOs 4 and 5). Interactive online learning, followed by two dedicated computer-based tutorial sessions will teach you all the necessary skills in order to complete the bioinformatics assessment (LO 3). You will also be encouraged to undertake formative exercises on Moodle to apply your learning and prepare you for the assessment.
|
Lecture/Tutorial sessions will include elements of formative assessment, including, critical thinking, problem solving and experimental design. Online resources on Moodle will contain interactive activities such as quizzes, which provide formative feedback to enable you to gauge your progress throughout the module and reinforce your learning. A feedforward session will be scheduled, two weeks before submission of the lab-based report, to provide support for the assessment.
|
There are two summative assessments in this module. The first summative assessment is in the form of a series of online bioinformatics-based tasks in which you will fully analyse genomic and proteomic sequence data (LO 1 and 3). The analysis of this data will form the basis of a 1500-word report.For the second assessment, you will present a set of fully analysed molecular data within a diagnostic laboratory report (2000 words) generated by you and your group during the laboratory classes (LOs 1, 2, 4 and 5).
