Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
This module will be delivered through a combination of class time and directed independent learning. You will be expected to undertake work in advance of coming to class, based on the resources provided via Moodle. In class key concepts will be explained but you will be expected to work individually or in small groups to undertake problem-solving, exercises in experiment design and interpretation of scientific research articles. Laboratory classes will be used to develop practical and research experimental skills. Key employability and scholarship skills are embedded and assessed – including laboratory skills, numeracy and critical thinking.
|
After two lab sessions, your lab book will be spot-checked in class and verbal feedback provided by the tutors on adherence to specific criteria for the professional maintenance of a lab book. This, together with formative exercises conducted throughout the module, will directly support the summative assessment (Report/worksheet). You will undertake formative exercises throughout the module, in preparation for each of the exams. Through group discussion including students and staff, the class will identify the key points that would be required. The feedback you are given on the first exam (LO1), will also support your preparation for the final (LOs 2, 3 and 4).
|
The report/worksheet will include aspects of experiment design, data recording, presentation and analysis and critical evaluation of experiments undertaken, integrated with the theoretical underpinning for LOs 1,2 & 4 (week 9, 2500 words). This builds on assessments from previous modules, for which you will have previously been given feedback.The module is also assessed through two exams - the first in weeks 4/5 ( 1 hour; LO1) and the second in weeks 14/15 (1 and 1/2 hours; LOs 2,3 & 4).
