Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
This module will be delivered through a combination of face-to-face lectures, tutorials (LO1–3) and laboratory sessions (LO4). Teaching approaches will include group work in the form of problem-based learning exercises and critique of literature (LO1-6). Key employability skills for scientists are embedded throughout the module including laboratory skills, evaluating experimental data, problem-solving, critical appraisal of literature and scientific writing.Recent developments in the understanding of microbial pathogenesis will be emphasised using peer-reviewed scientific literature. Where appropriate, exemplars of research will be used to illustrate examples. Laboratory classes will be used to deliver research-based themes.The themes covered in this module will cover pathogens of global importance and examples will be drawn from international research published in international journals.The module is supported by a VLE (Moodle) which is used to provide class materials (including lectures, tutorials and laboratory classes), resource such as animations, videos, direct links to relevant web-based resource, e:submission of all coursework, self-assessment test, interactive teaching resource, and independent study materials to cover expected prior-learning. Reflecting the discipline, you will use a wide range of technology to accomplish laboratory work and in silico analysis.
|
Compulsory formative assessment will be a mock exam; peer feedback will be discussed in class timeThe discursive nature of this module will provide many opportunities for formative feedforward and feedback around learning and assessment, most particularly on a continuous basis within laboratory sessions. A workshop on critical analysis of original research articles, reading and writing early in the module will help support you in remaining discussions and in preparing for your oral assessment, and the final exam. A formative mock exam held later in the module will support you in preparing for your summative exam and provide an important feedback and feedforward opportunity.
|
Summative assessment will be in the form of an examination which will be used to assess understanding of key aspects of the module (LO1,3-4). Coursework, which will be supported through interactive class activities, will provide both formative and summative assessment (LO2).
