Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Learning & teaching methods including their alignment to LOs- Formal lectures, class tutorials and computer labs are used to deliver contents and offer face to face support. Directed study tasks encourage integration of key reading material, covering LO1-LO4.- Lectures cover the theory, analytical and numerical techniques, covering LO1-LO4.- Tutorials cover the application of the theory by solving several practical examples so as to strengthen students’ up-to-date knowledge, covering LO1-LO4.- Computer labs cover the practice of numerical solution techniques using mathematical tools and commercial finite element software for structural dynamics and earthquake engineering, covering LO1-LO3. Embedding of employability/PDP/scholarship skillsModule content is developed in consultation with employers.Guest speakers offer the opportunity for networking and development of job search strategy. Communication and report-writing skills are developed through the continuous assessment component. Assessment (formative and summative)Formative and summative assessment is carried out through two courseworks on analytical modelling and mathematical solutions covering LO1-LO3 and sit-in module examination covering LO1-LO4. Research/teaching linkagesStaff undertake scholarly and research activities on structural dynamics and earthquake engineering.Relevant research findings are delivered within the module.Supporting equality and diversityAll materials are available on a Virtual Learning Environment to cater for the diverse student group.Academic supervision and tutorial support are available each taught week of the module to support students.InternationalisationThe content of the module provides all international students with an understanding of UK practice.International case studies are cited as appropriate.International students are encouraged to discuss practices adopted in their home nation.
