Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Formal lectures and class tutorials are used to deliver content and offer face to face support. Directed study tasks encourage integration of key reading material (LO1-LO5). Class tutorials are provided to encourage problem solving as well as to offer additional support. During the module delivery students will receive feedback on progress through tackling graded questions within the tutorial sessions. The use of appropriate computer software is encouraged to confirm or otherwise, the results obtained from hand-calculations.
|
Assessment is carried out using a formative approach with weekly tutorial sessions where students are trained to problem solving and developing design concepts as well as their ability for engineering judgment. Feedback is provided regarding their performance and areas of improvement are identified. The individual supervised class test relating to the parts of the module introducing the Eurocodes and their design principles as well as steel design ( LO1-LO3), although contributing to the final mark, will also provide an opportunity for rich feedback and can inform the summative assessment.
|
A summative approach is used in the above-mentioned class test complemented by a closed book, formal examination at the end of the module. This examination relates to the parts of the module covering Reinforced concrete design (LO4) and masonry design (LO5).
