Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Learning & Teaching methods including their alignment to LO’sThe students will be given a series of lectures, tutorials and practical work. The teaching material will include worked examples and a range of tutorial questions for the students to undertake out-with the classroom(LOs 1,2,3). The lectures will be used to present the principles and demonstrate their application through worked examples(LOs 1,2,3). Practical laboratory exercises will allow the students to apply the theory to real systems(LOs 1,2,3). Class tests will be used to assess the students’ performance(LOs 1,2,3).The teaching methods and assessments are appropriate to the delivery model: 1 hour lecture and 2 hours tutorial/practical per week.Embedding of Employability/PDP/scholarshipThe lab exercises build upon the students’ analytical skills. The main emphasis is on problem modelling and analysis and finally on reflection of the results and methods used. Comparison is made between the theory and the lab measurements.The students are required to report on their results and learning. All laboratories involve group collaboration work. A logbook of all the practical work must be kept up to date and submitted for assessment.Research/ teaching linkagesStudents may use primary research in preparing for the practical lab exercisesThe module leader is an active researcher and ensures that he is up-to-date with the latest developments in his subject area. This gives him the opportunity to share his knowledge with the students, where applicable and as appropriate to the module learning outcomes.
