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 related to operating systems, and use practical sessions to analyse and evaluate computer 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].Assessment (formative or summative)Short answer class test [40%]: Class test relates to the fundamental material covered by the core academic material [LO1, LO2], as well as an understanding of current forensic literature [LO4]. Report [60%]: Coursework relates to the forensic investigation of a given scenario. Students will be required to perform a forensic investigation and analyse their findings [LO2. LO3, LO4].
