Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach:
The module follows a block lecturing approach, where approximately half of the lectures are delivered by the Module Leader or Edinburgh Napier colleague in a five day block during week 0 of the trimester, tutorials will be posted on Moodle and the students will upload their tutorial answers for comments and feedback from the tutor. A blended learning philosophy is adopted on the module, where the students are required to enhance their independent learner skills through an active approach to learning. the students will attend the university for a further 5 days during week 7 of the trimester, this will give the tutor the chance to assess the quality and depth of each students' learning before delivering the rest of the module lectures.
LO 1, 2 taught through active learning in the Materials laboratory at Edinburgh Napier University - Failure analysis investigation utilising various forensic tools available and polymer processing parameters in the polymer manufacturing facilities. LO 1-5 knowledge will be imparted through the lecture series and deeper knowledge and understanding will be student led by tutorials, and structured self-learning.
Formative Assessment:
Practical sessions (LO1-2) and tutorials (LO1-5) will cover formative assessment

Summative Assessment:
Coursework and Exam (3hr) (LO1-5)
