Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
This module will be delivered through a series of lectures and practical sessions and you will develop a basis of theoretical knowledge and practical skills (LO1-LO5). In most of the lecture and practical sessions, an interactive and student-centered approach will be adopted. You will be working on key topics, readings or applications and asked to develop questions which can then be discussed with your peers or your lecturer. In the practical sessions, you will work through real-life datasets and information dissemination challenges. Therefore, we ensure that your learning of research methods and statistical analysis concepts is within a real-life and applied context.
|
There will be a number of formative assessments staged throughout the module to assist in measuring your progress and identifying areas needing further support. These will include short answer questions, quizzes, and tasks to be completed during lectures and practical sessions. Examples of data will be given to students each week so as to work on and discuss in subsequent practical data analysis sessions. In this way, you will have the opportunity to explore further data analysis techniques, seek answers on specific practical tasks and receive constructive feedback based on your performance.
|
Your summative assessments will take place in weeks 9 and 15 of this module through two pieces of assessment work. The first will be a 2000 word research project protocol in which you will develop a rationale, aim, methods, and examine ethical, governance, time, cost and practical implications of the suggested project (40%, LO’s 1-4). The second summative assessment is a 3,5 hours open book examination on research methods questions as well as on data analysis with SPSS (60%, LO’s 1-5).
