Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
The online lectures will address the first two learning outcomes by providing the theoretical background to acoustics, hearing, listening and soundscapes (LO1-2). The tutorials will address the last two learning outcomes by reviewing sound design techniques for linear and interactive media, as well as providing the students with a forum to discuss how to capture information about listening experiences (soundscapes) (LO3-4).
|
Formative feedback will be provided to all students each week during tutorial sessions, in respect of the chosen focus for the sound design, the underlying principles and capturing audience experiences.
|
Summative assessment - Item 1: The tutorial space will be used each week with the student cohort, as a whole. Each week a task will be given in advance to the cohort which directly corresponds to the development of the 2nd item of summative assessment. Students will bring the work that they have undertaken each week and discuss it during the tutorial session, where they will be tutor assessed according to their contribution, both in presenting and providing supportive critique for their fellow students. Criteria are available to ensure quality feedback is enabled. 10% of the module mark is applied to this item of assessment. Summative assessment – item 2: will be a project, developed across the timespan of the module. Students have to produce a piece of original sound design that addresses acoustical principles, listening processes and capturing listening experiences. The coursework will include a form of self-assessment using the identical marking criteria and guidelines as the marking team, as well as a requirement to evaluate the work with non-trained listeners. All four learning outcomes will be addressed so that students can show that they can apply appropriate acoustical principles to sound design of linear or interactive media. This assessment extends what students will have covered in previous modules, and provides a firm basis to support more demanding modules such as the Honours project. 90% of the module mark is applied to this item of assessment.
