Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Renewable energy finance: This part of the module delivery will be through lectures, tutorials and regular course work. The module will deal with practical problems encountered in developing and financing RE in the current environment (LO1,2 and 3).Environmental law: The delivery of law content will be through a combination of lectures, tutorials and discussion of case studies (LO4 and 5).Embedding of employability/PDP/scholarship skills.Through consideration of both large ( eg commercial wind farm installation) and small scale (eg domestic) renewable energy and sustainability case studies, students will be able to relate their teaching experience directly to the skills base required by potential employers in the RE market. Students will also be encouraged to develop scholarship skills through tutorial group work and frequent reporting on their critical appraisal of topical case studies during directed study periods. The purpose here is to provide expertise in their chosen field. The School has very active ties to employers through the well-established Industrial Liaison Committees.Assessment (formative and summative)Renewable energy finance: Weekly written financial questions building to completion of one coursework of the students choice. (LO1,2 and 3)Environmental law: The environmental law content and critical appraisal of material considered will be assessed through one coursework submission based around taught material, case studies and information gained by each individual through directed study and reading. Formative feedback will be given after coursework submission (LO4 and 5).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 area of their current research. Hands on experiments on renewable energy systems may be organised.
