Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
This module will be delivered using a fully online learning approach via Moodle. The use of Moodle gives greater flexibility so students can choose to learn at a time and pace that suits them. There is 1 introductory unit and 5 learning units that are aligned to the learning outcomes and delivered over a 10 weeks period. Students are encouraged to undertake online activities embedded within the learning units, including: development of critical appraisal skills (LOs 1-2); ability to demonstrate critical understanding of a broad range of research methodologies (LOs 3-4); and the use of analytical reasoning to ensure rigorous, safe and ethical research (LOs 3-5). Students are invited to participate in 2 online non-assessed peer discussions (LOs 1-5), in order to build theoretical, methodological and research skills. Throughout the module students will be encouraged to develop their scientific writing skills in preparation for the summative assessments (LOs 1-5).
|
The formative component: students are asked to submit an informative scientific abstract (500 words maximum) to Turnitin to enable the abstract to receive tutor feedback using a structured feedback sheet (end of week 7). This formative component will feed-forward to help build and develop the final abstract and outline research proposal.There are also end of unit progress tests for units 1-5 which are formative.
|
The summative component: students will use feedback from tutors to develop their final abstract (500 words) and outline research protocol (3500 words maximum) suitable for submission to a funding body committee. The final assessment (4000 words) is to be submitted in week 14 (Summative Assessment, LOs 1-5). The total summative components are worth 100% of the overall mark.
