Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Lectures deal with the basics of the subject and seek to convey the knowledge base to the students. Active discussion is encouraged throughout the teaching process. Tutorials and practical activities are used to encourage students to apply their skills to the art of recognising specific building failure. In doing so, they learn to identify a solution and a method statement for the required remedial action that is appropriate in each case. Students are encouraged to read outside the teaching notes and have weekly directed reading specified in the module study guide.The use of sketching and developing the ability to illustrate a problem/ solution in pictorial form is identified as an essential communication tool when explaining to prospective clients or as an important record of any survey undertaken.The learning material has been developed in thirteen sections and has been used successfully for several years. The module is assessed by a closed book examination at the end of the semester.Research/teaching linkagesLaboratory based exercises will provide opportunities for exploration and discussion around topics and provides the opportunity to link the material delivered in the formal lectures with practical demonstrations. Where appropriate this also provides the opportunity for staff to introduce students to relevant areas of their current research. Supporting equality and diversityThe nature of the delivery of the various components that make up this module provides scope for engaging students in the module content in ways which can be varied to accommodate a wide range of needs. Particular attention will be given to students with specific special needs, on an individual basis, to ensure that they receive an equivalent experience.
