Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
The learning and teaching on this module is conducted through lectures, seminars and tutorials where Learning Outcomes 1-6 will be addressed. Lectures of approximately one hour duration are followed by seminars. The 50 minute seminars involve larger group activities that encourage active learning through peer discussions of the main points raised by the lecture and are lead by the module lecturer. Learning Outcomes will be addressed in lectures and then reinforced during seminars: in general: for example, the first and second lecture and seminar will address LOs 1 and 2 and by the final sessions students will be able to address Learning Outcome 6. A further 50 minute tutorial of smaller groups enables students to interact more closely with the lecturer and draw upon their expertise in delivering the stated Learning Outcomes. Learning principles are embraced in the following ways:- Active learning—through peer group debate and discussion and detailed interaction with the module texts - Collaborative Learning—through peer group discussions and plenary feedback during seminars- Personalised learning tasks—individual essays that demonstrate the student’s understanding of key issues- Use of technology—Moodle provides modular information but technology is used primarily in terms of website searches, e-texts, and film adaptations of texts
|
Summative assessment is in the form of two essays that respond to aspects of the teaching content on the module. One short essay midway through the module requires students to respond to the genre of imperial romance. A longer essay at the end of the module requires students to write critically about Conrad, race and imperialism in response to the entire module content.
