Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
The module will be taught through a series of lectures, tutorials, practical sessions and fieldwork that will require students 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 professional skills in analysis and interpretation of fisheries information.
|
A problem-based approach, centred around a series of case studies will be utilised throughout the practical sessions to develop skills and provide formative feedback every two weeks from week 4-10 to build towards the final summative assessment.
|
The final [15 page] assessment will be based on collation and analysis of fisheries data, along with interpretation in relation to the management context. There will be a series of exercises, covering application of fish growth models, population estimation via different methods and stock and recruitment modelling in relation to harvesting and environmental influences.
