Modules

Due to Covid-19 restrictions, learning and teaching activities on campus as described in the module descriptors are currently restricted. Learning and teaching will be enabled through a mixture of scheduled online activity where you will be able to engage with your tutor and classmates in real-time and unscheduled guided activity where you will be required to complete activities and tasks at a time which best suits you. Teaching will take place on campus, wherever possible, and where this is safe to happen.

Definitive information on module delivery during 2020/21 will be provided on Module Moodle Sites. For specific enquiries please contact the module leaders directly.

Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach:

Learning & Teaching methods including their alignment to LOs
Students are provided with lectures on the topics covered in the module. (l.o. 1,2,3,4) The lectures are reinforced with notes and further reading references. Use is made of off air television recordings and guest lecturers from practice.(l.o. 3, 4) CIAT Student information pack is provided to the students.(l.o 4) In preparation for the examination past papers and model solutions are used in the class. Students are encouraged to generate and answer their own questions to case studies provided.(l.o. 1)
Embedding of employability/PDP/Scholarship Skills
Provides experiential learning of the architectural technologists workplace, a skill much valued by employers.

Assessment (formative or summative)
Summative assessment is in the form of a time limited, closed book, invigilated examination partly based on a re-released published case study of a recently completed major building project. The students are given a copy of the case study at least 2 weeks before the examination in order that they can become familiar with the complex brief and the design team's response in the form of the completed building.(l.o. 1, 2, 3, 4,)
Research / teaching linkages
A substantial amount of research material generated by the Institute for Sustainable Construction is embedded in the teaching material of this module.

Supporting equality and diversity
The variety of teaching methods ensure that a range of backgrounds and aptitudes are catered for. Some of the lecture and tutorial materials are available in hard and electronic format (in Moodle) to cater for the diverse student group. Timetabled academic supervision is available each taught week of the module to support students.

Internationalisation
This module contains references to buildings in Europe, Asia and the USA to illustrate emerging technologies. The case study used in the end of module examination will normally feature a building constructed in the U.K.

Formative Assessment:

The University is currently undertaking work to improve the quality of information provided on methods of assessment and feedback. Please refer to the section on Learning and Teaching Approaches above for further information about this module’s learning, teaching and assessment practices, including formative and summative approaches.
