| Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Teaching consists of bi-weekly classes based in the Music Lab, practise rooms and studios (LOs 1,2,3,4). The Music Lab will be available throughout the period of this module allowing you to experiment with concepts covered in class content (LOs 1,2,3,4). A significant amount of content is delivered via Moodle in the form of software screencasts and online activities (LOs 1,2,3,4), which requires dedicated time and engagement on the part of the student. Students must review and experiment with this content on a weekly basis to ensure that they are fully prepared to apply knowledge in lab settings and that they progress at an appropriate pace. Tutor-led classes enhance the learning materials that have been provided online and provide the opportunity for practical application of techniques and skills (LOs 1,2,3,4). Students will engage in online and face-to-face collaborative work, and self-directed learning through a series of formative exercises to develop skills and knowledge required to meet summative assessment requirements. (LOs 1,2,3,4)
|
To help develop your work and prepare to successfully meet the requirements of the summative assessments, students are provided a series of opportunities to receive formative feedback from staff and peers on the work they are developing. Throughout each block of teaching in-class personalised 1-1 feedback will be provided verbally by your tutor on your progress on set tasks and activities. A formative peer assessment task exists in the final block of teaching and will require students upload a draft (1 minute) of their software-based performances for peer critique.
