Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
This shall comprise a lecture/seminar of up to 2 hours with a linked 1-hour tutorial/seminar period and grouped based learning, held twice per day over a consecutive five day period. The face-to-face teaching and group-based learning delivered in 1-week shall be supported by guided independent study when back in the office and completing the assessments set for the module.Learning & teaching methods including their alignment to LosLectures are supported by comprehensive student notes (available on Moodle). Tutorials are flexible and are either based around self-assessment questions contained in the tutorial exercises or are used to liaise with students informally regarding the development of their coursework’s depending upon the perceived needs of the students. The combination of the lecture series, the tutorial exercises and liaising with the students regarding the development of their coursework’s will cover all of the learning outcomes, LO1, LO2, LO3, LO4, LO5 and LO6, listed in section 11. Students are encouraged to read outside the teaching units. The face-to-face teaching and group-based learning delivered in this core Week also includes technical discusisons, group work and tutorials.

The provision of formative feedback is a key component of the LTA approach underpinning this module. Formative feedback opportunities are built into each practical session.The tutorials provide examples and group problem solving sessions to identify technical and build issues which would affect sound insulation performance.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.

Part 1 - Group work Task – Review and analysis of Technical Drawings and Construction Details to assess compliance with the requirements of the Scottish Building Standards.To develop a knowledge and understanding of the key issues associated with construction technologies and details relative to the Scottish Building Standards.The group involves taking technical drawings and construction details to identify key errors in specification, criteria, performance and outcomes.The group is then required to provide a remedial specification or alternative route to attain the technical and regulatory performance levels.This will be delivered as a presentation over 4 hours which has been allocated to facilitate a series of group presentations. Each presentation will last between 20 and 30 minutes.This aligns with LO1, LO2, LO3 and LO5.Part 2 – Technical ReportEach student will be required to develop a maximum 2000 word technical report outlining a live building they are involved with through their employer. It could also include a previous recent building project. Drawings, sketches, tables and references can be provided in addition to the 2000 word max limit.This provides an opportunity to demonstrate external reading and an application of knowledge in the analysis of a live ‘real’ building project.This aligns with LO1, LO3, LO4, LO5 and LO6.
