| Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
The aim is to advance the learner's knowledge, comprehension and problem-solving abilities using a combination of lectures and tutorials. For example, leading construction sector professions have identified sustainability as a key challenge for the industry. This is made of practitioners from outside agencies, together with research and consultancy input, to ensure that the learning experience is based on current real-life Sustainable Development issues. A substantial amount of research material generated by different scientists, for example from, the Building Performance Centre, Centre for Timber Engineering and the Scottish Energy Centre are embedded in the teaching material of this module (end of each lecture).The variety of teaching methods and types of assessments ensure that a range of backgrounds and aptitudes are catered for. The lecture and tutorial materials are available in electronic format (on Moodle) to cater for students. Timetabled academic supervision is available each taught week of the module to support students.

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 where the student will be encouraged to engage with and reflect upon the module's themes via a series of different learning tasks. These tasks provide opportunities for the module tutor to assist students with understanding and interpreting a module's learning outcomes.Formative feedback is delivered in-class time in response to student contributions. Formative feedback arises via the discussion and analysis of tutorial questions, examples and associated reflection on a range of learning tasks. In addition, as the final assessment is completely report based, the end of each session is fully timetabled to review the module’s coursework and allow students to ask their questions.
|
The final assessment is based on a 100% coursework, report, to deliver the LO1-5.
