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. Module content is developed in consultation with employers and other experts. Guest speakers offer the opportunity for networking and development of job search strategy. Communication, group learning and information synthesis and collation skills are developed through the directed learning component. Staff undertake scholarly and research activities on geotechnical subjects using the type of tools studied within this module. Relevant research findings are a key component of both module delivery and courseworks, especially coursework 2, which probes students’ ability to diagnose a geotechnical problem (slope instability) in search for a design solution.
|
Coursework 1: a significant formative assessment that culminates in face to face individual tailored feedback session with each student
|
Coursework 2: is configured to guide the student’s ability to assess the effectiveness of an advanced engineering analytical tool in the search for an appropriate design solution.
