| Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Learning & Teaching methods including their alignment to LOsDelivery of this module will be by a series of lectures, related seminars and flexible learning materials, both physical and electronic. The lectures and seminars will be used to develop the student’s skills in analysing and appraising module content. Students will be encouraged to develop a critical awareness of materials through discussions drawing upon a series of readings, thus developing skills of analysis and synthesis (LOs 1-4). The coursework assessments will challenge the student to produce formal reports encouraging and reflecting independent learning through data collection, analysis and synthesis, as well as skills in developing sound argument (LOs 1-5). A large part of the learning will be directed study.
|
Formative assessment is a key part of the tutorial activity which will be based on short writing exercises with peer and tutor feedback (LOs 1-5).
|
The assessment instruments are 'contiguous' in the sense that they are of the same type, allowing learning from the 1st to directly underpin that in the 2nd. Detailed feedback will be offered after submission of the first report (LOs 1, 2 & 5). The second report (all LOs) provides students with the opportunity to apply the entire range of tools/techniques covered in the module. The reports will also allow the students to develop scholarship skills in the identification, assimilation and use of a range of relevant sources. The ability to present succinct and in-depth reports is, of course, a key employability skill in the areas which these students are likely to seek permanent employment.
