Occurrence: | 001 |
Primary mode of delivery: | BLENDED |
Location of delivery: | SIGHTHILL |
Partner: | Edinburgh Napier University |
Member of staff responsible for delivering module: | Samantha Donnellan |
Module Organiser: | |
Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
A combination of directed study, literature searches, project design (LOs 1&2); data gathering (LOs 3,4&5); data analysis and problem solving, including lectures on use of statistics (LO 3); and report writing (LO 4&6) is used to develop your research and professional skills.
|
Formative feedback will be given to you on drafts of work.
|
Summative assessment in week 3 comprises a written project proposal (word limit of 2500), which assists in your research design and preparation, and contributes 10% to the assessment, with the submission of a final dissertation (word limit of 10,000) in week 15, worth 75% of the module assessment. The remainder 15% of the module will be allocated in relation to the performance during the project.

Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Learning & Teaching methods including their alignment to LOsA combination of directed study, literature searches, project design (LOs 1&2); data gathering (LOs 3,4&5); data analysis and problem solving, including lectures on use of statistics (LO 3); and report writing (LO 4&6) is used to develop your research and professional skills. Weekly lab meeting attending by staff and students allows you to present data (LO3) and discuss experimental technique (LO5) allowing for feed-forward from academic staff and peers. By its nature, this module links research with teaching, whereby you conduct an independent piece of research under the expert guidance of a supervisor. Depending on availability of suitable supervisors, this module has the potential to be conducted worldwide.Several key employability skills are embedded and assessed: a) Project planning and management, (b) Data acquisition skills – students conduct laboratory-based experiments or surveys by interview and/or questionnaire, or information gathering (c) Problem-solving skills – as well as project aims and objectives, students are required to address any incidental issues and concerns throughout the duration of the project (d) Individual initiative and self-motivation, (e) Numeracy and/or analytical skills, (f) Presentation and communication skills - assessed in the final reports (g) IT – students use online literature search engines, data-handling software.The module is supported by a VLE (Moodle) which is used to provide class materials (including lectures, tutorials, workshops and laboratory classes), resource such as animations, videos, direct links to relevant web-based resource, e:submission of all coursework, self-assessment test, interactive teaching resource, and independent study materials to cover expected prior-learning. Reflecting the discipline, students use a wide range of technology to accomplish laboratory work and in silico analysis.
