Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Your initial lectures will focus on project choice and planning, as well as consideration of safety issues appropriate to the area of study to enable you to derive a plan of work that is sound, safe and achievable (LO1). Subsequent contact with supervisors is highly individualised, and will equip you with the skills needed to utilize appropriate techniques and tools to undertake your project, analyse data appropriately and present the work to appropriate standards of presentation (LO1-4). Although supervision will be provided, much of the module is premised on your active and autonomous engagement in the chosen area of research. You are expected to negotiate the content and aims of their project which will be stated explicitly in the project proposal (LO1). The Project Proposal must be approved, prior to you embarking upon its implementation, by your project supervisor as well as the module leader. Through Moodle, you will have online access to materials (at a time, place and pace that suits them) that will support the development of your learning agreement as well as resources to facilitate your learning and the use of appropriate work-related project skills, critical thinking and analysis, reflection, problem solving and decision making tools. You will be supported throughout the module by an academic supervisor (and where appropriate, a line-manager/project supervisor). Tutor support is provided via e-mail and online tutorials that flexibly utilise asynchronous and synchronous forms of communication to meet your individual needs or face to face communication as requested. As the Project is implemented you will compile a Laboratory Record Book to document the application of appropriate methodologies and in which data will be organised and analysed (LO3). You will then use this to develop a detailed report of the Results and Data Analysis, including evidence of critical thinking (LO4 and LO5).
|
There will be an opportunity for formative feedback at three stages – feedback will be given on a draft of your Project Proposal prior to submission, following your Oral Presentation and on a draft of your Project Report prior to final submission.
|
The first summative assessment is based on the production of a Project Proposal (25%). The second summative assessment is based on your Oral Presentation of the project to peers and tutors (15%). The third summative assessment is based on your final Project Report which synthesises all of the work embodied in the project (60%).
