Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
This module will be delivered through a combination of face-to-face lectures, tutorials and practical classes. All lectures and tutorial sessions (LO1-5) will include interactive components during which you will work individually and in small groups to undertake exercises in data-handling and interpretation, critical analysis and report writing (LO2). Laboratory sessions will be used to develop various key practical skills including handling of microbial and mammalian cell cultures (LO1), use of various equipment used in biotechnology including the bench-top fermenter (LO4/LO5) and will be designed to enhance your skills in working with precision and reproducibility.
|
You will have various opportunities to engage in interactive exercises during lectures, tutorials and laboratory classes and be given immediate feedback on your contributions. These will be designed to support preparation for the summative assessments.
|
The summative assessment for this module consists of two components.Component 1, a test [held in week 7] will assess theoretical knowledge of bioprocessing and growth kinetics as well as data-handling and interpretation skills [LO4 & LO5/ 40% weighting]. The second component [due for submission in week 13] is a critical review of a cell technology either under research and development or at full commercial scale [LO1,LO2 & LO3/60% weighting].
