Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Learning and Teaching Methods Including Their Alignment to LOsThe general approach in this module is to make use of lectures to cover theoretical and practical forensic issues, and use practical sessions to analyse and evaluate digital forensic scenarios using tools and current industry practice. These practical lab-based sessions will concentrate on the use of computer forensics tools in the analysis of case studies [LO3 and 4], allowing students to gain an understanding of forensic investigation techniques [LO2]. Where appropriate, expert guest lectures and topical current real-world examples will be used. The theoretical material in lectures will be applied by students within the practical sessions, and reinforced through analysis and discussions activities [LO1, 2, 4].
|
Interactive elements of lectures encourage students to test their understanding continuously. There will be additional formative challenges such as quizzes. Continuous feedback is given by staff through discussions in the labs. Practical sessions are used to provide formative feedback for students on the module. During these sessions, module tutors assess and evaluate student performance on tasks relevant to the summative assessment, providing timely feedback which supports the development of students’ capabilities. The formative exercises and associated feedback shall also help students prepare for the summative assessments.To support the summative assessments further, practice tests will be available with immediate, automated feedback.
|
• Short answer class test: Class test relates to the fundamental material covered by the core academic material [LO1, LO2], and an understanding of current forensic literature [LO4]. Carried out using a moodle quiz during scheduled classes.• practical skills assessment: relates to the digital investigation of a given scenario. Students will be required to perform a forensic investigation and analyse their findings [LO2, LO3,]. It is expected that this will be in the format of an open book class test.
