Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
This module will be delivered via research focused lectures (LO 1-3) and practical classes (LO 1-4) designed to develop your confidence in analysing a sporting or exercise technique. This allows you to be fully engaged in a practical sense to the theory using various up-to-date and relevant contexts and utilising the University's excellent Biomechanics related equipment and technological resources. You are encouraged to be hands on and assessment tasks associated with this module allow you to choose your own context to show your understanding of the theory. The integrated approach to biomechanics and learning allows you to expand your understanding of the nature of human movement during performance without restriction to a single discipline.
|
As part of the first summative assessment, you will be asked to submit a research proposal (LO 1,2) and following discussion and feedback, you will carry out hypothesis testing within the field of biomechanics based on this proposal (LO 3,4). Hence, during this process, you will be engaged in discussions (group or individual) with the teaching staff and your peers, you will also be receiving formal and informal feedback and this will be part of your formative assessment. The project can be part of a larger study proposed in small groups and the data can be collected as a group which also form the formative part of the assessment, but you will complete the summative assessment task of presenting your own data.
|
AssessmentThis module will be assessed through two summative assessment tasks which will involve you producing two reports, a research project proposal and a final report which presents the data analysis, discussion and conclusions of your study.The proposal will be carried out in a topic of your choice or defined by the teaching team and it will contain the background and rationale as well as the methods of the proposed study [50% weighting, due in week 8, covering LO1, LO2]The second assessment component will be a scientific report comprising the results, discussion and conclusions of your study [50% weighting, due in week 14/15, Covering LO3, LO4].

Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
This module will be delivered via applied research focused lectures (LO 1-3) and practical classes (LO 1-4) designed to develop your confidence in analysing sporting or exercise techniques and practical problems. The lectures will be interactive and involve in class tasks and discussions. This will allow you to relate theory with practice using various up-to-date and relevant contexts. You will also be able to use our excellent Biomechanics equipment as part of the practical sessions or during your own laboratory or field-based tasks. You are encouraged to be hands on, and the assessment tasks associated with this module will allow you to choose your own context to show your understanding of the theory. The integrated approach to biomechanics and learning allows you to expand your understanding of the nature of human movement during performance or function without being restricted to a single discipline.
|
As part of the first summative assessment, you will be asked to prepare a poster based on the assessment plan of a case study of your choice (LO 1,2) and following discussion and feedback, you will carry out testing within the field of biomechanics based on your case study assessment and consultation plan (LO 3,4). Hence, during this process, you will be engaged in discussions (group or individual) with the teaching staff and your peers, you will also be receiving formal and informal feedback, and this will be part of your formative assessment. Additional activities such as midterm online quizzes will be used to check your knowledge in subjects covered in the lectures and practical sessions.
|
This module will be assessed through two summative assessment tasks which will require you to prepare and present a poster based on a case study and a final consultation report which effectively analyses, interprets and communicates the data collected for the case study.The case study will be of your choice or defined by the teaching team and it will contain the background, rationale as well as the methods of the proposed assessment/consultation [40% weighting, due in week 6, covering LO1, LO2]The second assessment component will be a consultation report effectively communicating the results and recommendations based on the biomechanical assessment carried out [60% weighting, due in week 14, Covering LO3, LO4].
