Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Learning & Teaching methods including their alignment to LOsLectures cover LOs 1 – 4 and are supported by tutorials, while LO5 is covered by laboratory work, for which guidance is given and marking criteria are advised. Questioning is encouraged during tutorials, on-line using Moodle discussion forums, and in laboratory classes. Personalised feedback is given during tutorials and for the laboratory report.Embedding of employability/PDP/Scholarship SkillsFive key employability skills are embedded. Critical thinking and written communication skills are required in the tutorial work, the coursework component and examination. Group work and oral communication skills are required for both tutorial work and the laboratory component. IT skills are required for the use of Moodle and for on-line searches associated with the preparation/submission of coursework (laboratory report). Scholarship skills are required for the directed reading associated with the subject material. Critical thinking is required for commenting on and analysing laboratory data.Research / teaching linkagesStudents are directed (either through Moodle or during tutorials/laboratory classes) to supporting web sites. These may include animations of key molecular processes.Supporting equality and diversityMaterials are provided in both hard and soft (Moodle) formats to ensure that they are available to all students.
|
Tutorials will include elements of formative assessment, while summative assessment takes the form of coursework: a laboratory report (LO5), problem solving during Moodle tests (LOs 1 - 4), and a formal examination (LOs 1 - 4). A 3 hour examination is required to allow students to complete data analysis/interpretation questions. Feedback on the laboratory report is given in stages so that students have an opportunity to improve their performance in subsequent reports in other modules.
