Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
A combination of interactive lectures, tutorials, workshops and experimental work in groups will be used to develop scientific, practical and problem solving skills. Lectures will outline the core concepts of the module. To ensure that every learner is as active as possible, lectures contain collaborative, interactive exercises and suggestions for further study. Questions are encouraged within face-to-face teaching. Tutorials and workshops will facilitate deeper discussion and learning of specific aspects of the course and will enhance your understanding and appreciation of the topic. Workshops will assist with the data analysis for your assessment(s). These will also enable you to interact with your peers. Practical classes will allow you to develop research and problem solving capabilities in solving a biological problem. Through analysis, interpretation and presentation of the data you will also develop key scientific literacy and communication skills.Personalised feedback will be given on the written components of both assessments. Moodle will be used to support the module by providing a repository of guided learning resources and activities for formative assessment.The following employability skills will be developed through this module: communication and teamwork, planning and organisation, information and digital literacy, practical biological skills and written communication.
|
Formative assessment of your progress is provided through online learning tools and quizzes on Moodle. Quizzes will be provided via Moodle as well as additional reading and resources. Within the laboratory sessions, you will be provided feedback on your laboratory skills as well as formative feedback on the Protocol activity: a group activity to assist with your Lab Report. Formative feedforward will be provided by tutors to you for the planning aspect of your coursework and within your Workshops.
|
Summative assessment of your learning will include a lab report based on the planning, execution and interpretation of activities within the practical laboratory sessions and will cover LOs 1-3 (Component 1: Lab report worth 40%). Summative assessment will also include an Infographic at the end of term used to test the knowledge, understanding and skills attained in cell signalling (LOs 4- 6) (Component 2: Infographic worth 60%).
