Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
This module will be delivered through a combination of face-to-face lectures, tutorials (LO1–3) and laboratory sessions used to develop scientific and employability skills (LO4). Recent developments in the understanding of microbial pathogens and the development of diagnostic methods and therapies will be emphasised using peer-reviewed scientific literature (LO3 & 5).The themes covered in this module will cover pathogens of global importance.Key employability skills for scientists are embedded throughout the module including laboratory skills, evaluating experimental data, problem-solving, critical appraisal of literature and scientific writing.The module is supported by a VLE (Moodle) which is used to provide class materials (including lectures, tutorials 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
|
Compulsory formative assessment will be a mock exam; peer feedback will be discussed in class time. The discursive nature of this module will provide many opportunities for formative feedforward and feedback around learning and assessment, most particularly on a continuous basis within laboratory sessions. A formative mock exam held later in the module will support the students in their summative exam and provide an important feedback and feedforward opportunity.
|
Summative assessment takes the form of laboratory reports, and problem solving during laboratory sessions (LOs 3-4) and a formal examination (LOs 1-3).
