Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
The module is covering the major themes of evolution, functional ecology and genetics, along with supporting tutorials. There will be scheduled museum visits (National Museum Scotland), where you will use the exhibits to explore specific evolutionary and taxonomy/biodiversity topics to work towards a mini proposal for your poster project. The poster group work is introduced in the early tutorials; we will negotiate and agree the marking criteria together. You will choose your topic for the poster in relation to the museum visits. Problem solving and ‘interactive windows’ are used to encourage reflection and interaction during lectures. One to one help with the poster assessment is provided during ‘surgeries’.Weekly online quizzes have to be completed and can be repeated as needed, for continuous assessment of your progress throughout the module.
|
Weekly online tests will allow you to evaluate your learning and progress. Mini proposal for poster project will be written and discussed (week 9) after museum visits (needs to be presented with poster to show train of thought).
|
1) Poster related to lectures and museum visits. You will produce a poster in a small group (4-5 students) to be presented in the poster session at the end of the trimester (week 12).You will choose your poster topic, which will cover one or more LOs from 1 to 5.2) Final Moodle online quiz, covering the module content (LO 1-5, week 14). The quiz will be open for one week and is not time limited, but you have to finish it, once you started.
