Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Interactive weekly two-hour lectures will introduce you to some of the long-running and emergent issues about the impacts of human activity on the natural environment, along with some of the key concepts necessary for understanding them (LO1 & 2). Lectures will also explore how narrative literature and film engage with environmental and sustainability, and introduce ecocritical approaches to analysing such texts (LOs 1, 3, 4). One-hour weekly tutorials will give students the opportunity to discuss sustainability issues and representations of the natural environment in depth (LOs 1, 3, 4, 5). The emphasis will be on independent learning, reading, viewing and scholarship. Tutorial sessions will mirror the lecture series and will provide a medium for student-centred learning and reflection. Students will develop their theoretical knowledge of the subject and accompanying themes and apply this knowledge to the preparation of their portfolio (LOs 1-5).
|
In addition to formative feedback received on their summative assessments, students will also undertake formative activities directly related to each assignment, during which they will receive feedback and guidance from the tutor or lecturer.
|
The module is summatively assessed by a portfolio made up of 3-5 pieces of work. You complete your first piece for marking and feedback by week 6 (LOs 1 - 3). You submit the full portfolio in week 12 (LOs 1 - 5).
