Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
The module is delivered through a two-hour lecture and a one-hour tutorial each week.Lectures utilise audio-visual resources, and tutorials include small group and whole class discussions, and task-based exercises to ensure student activity and engagement. Specific weekly tutorial preparation tasks (readings, research exercises and/or questions) provide a foundation for structured tutorial activities and discussion.LOs1-5 address distinct topic areas in two week blocks. LO6 is holistic and is addressed throughout the module.
|
Students write brief formative essays corresponding to three of the module's topics (LOs 1,3,5). These formative essays align closely in scope and length to the examination questions that follow at the end of the module and thus provide excellent practice for first year students who have not previously experienced university-level exams.Formatives are submitted and feedback is provided within a week of submission via Turnitin.
