Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
A bespoke, interactive core text, available on Moodle, will direct your learning of the basic principles underpinning the more advanced aspects of the topics, which will be covered in face-to-face lectures and tutorials (LOs 1, 2 and 3). Questioning and discussion are encouraged during all face-to-face teaching to promote interactive sessions. After each tutorial, online data analysis exercises and quizzes will be available on Moodle for you to reinforce your learning, gauge your own understanding and prepare you for the class test, which specifically covers interpretation and discussion of data generated by ‘omics’ technologies (LOs 2 and 3).A dedicated face-to-face computer-based tutorial session will teach you all the necessary skills in order to complete the bioinformatics coursework assessment (LOs 1 and 4) and a final feedforward ‘skills’ session dedicated to data handling and interpretation will further prepare you for the class test.
|
Face-to-face tutorials will include elements of formative assessment, including, critical thinking, problem solving, data analysis 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. You will also be provided with specialised online data analysis exercises, directly linked to the tutorial material in order to prepare you for similar style exercises in the class test.
|
There are two summative assessments in this module, each with a 50% weighting. The first summative assessment is a series of online bioinformatics-based tasks to analyse genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic sequence data (LOs 1 and 4), which will form the basis of a 2000-word report for submission in week 8. The second assessment is a 2.5 hour class test (including reading time) based on molecular data analysis and interpretation (LOs 2 and 3). The class test will take place in week 13.
