Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
This shall comprise a lecture of up to 2 hours with a linked 1-hour tutorial, held twice per day over a consecutive five day period. The face-to-face teaching delivered in Week 1 shall be supported by independent guided study and underpinned with work-based learning when back in the office and completing the assessments specified for the module (Weeks 2-15).Lectures deal with the basics of the subject and seek to convey the knowledge base to the students. Tutorials and practical work is used to encourage students to apply management skills applied to conservation and preservation of historic buildings. Tutorials are also effective in producing argument for and against conservation in different circumstances. The module looks at conservation methods employed internationally and uses examples of excellence from the UK and Europe to define solutions and good practice.Students are encouraged to read outside the teaching notes and have directed reading specified in the module study guide. Some of the individual topics benefit from some of the top Scottish external experts giving directed guest lectures which keep the module up to date and give a deep understanding of their specific subject areas. The module deals with old and historic buildings, which is essential for Built Environment students, considering the percentage of building stock that falls directly into this category. The module is assessed by one piece of coursework which is designed to develop the students' practical, written and groupwork skills, together with an end of semester examination.

The provision of formative feedback is a key component of the LTA approach underpinning this module. Formative feedback opportunities are built into each tutorial where you will be encouraged to engage with and reflect upon module themes via a series of different learning tasks. These provide opportunities for the module tutor to help with your understanding and interpretation of module topics. This formative feedback is delivered in class time in response to student contributions both individually and collectively. Formative feedback arises via the discussion and analysis of tutorial questions, practical examples/cases and associated reflection on a range of learning tasks. A photographic exercise will issued and formative feedback will be given on this.
