Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Theoretical elements of the module will be taught via lectures and tutorials and supported byadditional materials on Moodle to aid your understanding and progression through themodule. Skills for graphically representing molecules by software routinely employed indrug discovery research will be taught in practicals, via demonstration, and activities inPC labs. Practical laboratory sessions will involve activities specifically designed to stimulate your interest and curiosity for the classes of compounds being covered and will require use of GLP practice and the keeping of an appropriately GLP compliant lab book.Assessments will include a lab report based on practical classes and use of software foranalysis of data collected (LOs 1-3); and a group presentation based on a macromolecule of your choice (e.g. including information about how it can be used as a biopharmaceutical, future prospects, challenges and how it compares to small molecules etc) (LOs 2-4). A series of class presentations on alternative topics during tutorial sessions will give you an opportunity to practice speaking and also receive feedback in advance of the final assessed presentation.
|
Formative feedback will be provided during practical sessions to inform your summativelab report. A formative tutorial will also be provided to support you with this component ofassessment.Class presentations and interactive poster development will be used during tutorialsessions to provide formative feedback for your summative group presentation and will give you an opportunity to practice speaking and help build your confidence.

Assessments will be a lab report based on practical classes and use of software for analysis of data collected (LOs 1-3); and a group presentation based on a macromolecule (about how it can be used as a biopharmaceutical) (LOs 2-4)

Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Theoretical elements of the module will be taught via lectures and supported by additional materials on Moodle to aid your understanding and progression through the module. Skills for graphically representing molecules by software routinely employed in drug discovery research will be taught in practicals, via demonstration, and activities in PC labs. In tutorials, emphasis will also be placed on the main techniques applied to formulate and quality control biologics, with the aim of improving their performance and/or mitigate their instability, using a problem-solving approach. Practical laboratory sessions will involve activities specifically designed to stimulate your interest and curiosity for the classes of compounds being covered and will require use of GLP practice and the keeping of an appropriately GLP compliant lab book. Assessments will include a lab report based on practical classes and use of software for analysis of data collected (LOs 1-3); and an individual presentation based on a macromolecule of your choice (e.g. including information about production, quality control, challenges etc) (LOs 2-4)
|
Formative feedback will be provided during practical sessions to inform your summative lab report. A formative tutorial will also be provided to support you with this component of assessment. Group presentations and interactive poster development will be used during tutorial sessions to provide formative feedback for your summative individual presentation.
