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 research and professional skills.Regular meetings between supervisor(s) and student allows student 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 the student conducts an independent piece of research under the expert guidance of a supervisor. Several key employability skills are embedded and assessed: a) Project planning and management, (b) Data acquisition skills and 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 module resource including direct links to relevant web-based resource, e:submission of all coursework, detailed guidelines and marking criteria, examples of previous submissions. Reflecting the discipline, students use a wide range of technology to accomplish laboratory work, data collection and analysis, and in silico analysis.

Formative feedback is given to the students on drafts of work by project supervisors. In addition students will receive one-to-one feedback directly from their supervisor on a regular basis throughout the project. Students will also be expected to use the feedback given on the assessed project proposal when writing the final dissertation.
