Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
The module is presented via a combination of lectures (covering LOs 1- 5) and supporting practical sessions (also covering LOs 1-5). The practical sessions are “hands-on” which is reflected throughout the teaching of the module. The lectures will therefore cover both the theory and implementation of systems programming concepts. Tutorial sessions (LO1, LO4) will support understanding of design concepts.
|
All learning outcomes will be covered in the coursework, which will include several parts and code demonstrations. Students will receive formative feedback on their progress throughout the module via the practical sessions and tutorial sessions.To support formative feedback, the Software Engineering subject group utilise a lab based teaching approach across their provision. During these lab sessions, staff will discuss and evaluate student progress and provide feedback on how well they are progressing with their work. All modules in the subject group also require students to demonstrate their coursework on submission to provide further formative feedback on how the work could be improved.
|
The module has three assessments. The first two are project based and require the students to undertake the development of significant pieces of software using a systems programming language. This forms a formative assessment built up during the module, covering LOs 1, 2 and 4. Students will receive feedback via face-to-face demo sessions and electronically at the end of the module.The third assessment is a formal exam which will assess the students’ understanding of the concepts and concerns when undertaking systems programming. The exam is a summative assessment covering LOs 3-5.
