Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
The module will be taught through a series of lectures, tutorials and practical sessions that will require you to critically and actively engage during both taught sessions and with supporting materials. Teaching sessions will provide the foundational knowledge which will be applied in tutorial and practical sessions to develop understanding of both core concepts and applied knowledge in environmental quality assessment.
|
Formative short-answer questions will be made available after teaching sessions, with tutorial-based discussion to provide additional feedback. Formative exercises relating to each assessment are provided in advance of the final submission providing additional feedback to build and reinforce student learning.
|
TThe final assessment will be based on two components. First the production of a results and discussion section to interpret the data on ecotoxicological impacts collected during practical sessions (linked to LOs 1 and 4), and second a 7-day take-home exam with a choice of questions that integrate learning across all the learning outcomes (LOs 1-4).
