Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Delivery consists of a series of lectures and laboratory-based tutorials which introduce and develop the core principles, and prepare the class for the tests to assess LO1, LO2 and LO3. These concepts are further explored and expanded through a series of classroom and laboratory exercises which provide the basis for accomplishing the practical coursework that addresses LO3 and LO4. The teaching material is supported using a combination of handouts, tutorials and computer-based resources.
|
The lab based practicals follow up on the lecture material and provide continuous feedback from staff through discussions of the challenges presented. These challenges encourage students to test their understanding and are in the form of tasks which utilise inbuilt operating systems tools, specialist diagnostic/development software, CPU simulators and command line scripting. Scripting challenges are designed to highlight concepts and practices important for the final coursework assessment.
|
Summative assessment is achieved through a class test, and a coursework assignment. The class test (LOs 1, and 2 and 3) will cover the more theoretical aspects of the module and happens in the middle part of the module. The coursework will develop the student’s ability to work with the command line and produce a robust script based system utility (LOs 3 and 4).
