Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
The teaching comprises a blend of conventional lectures and guest lectures from practitioners supported by classroom tutorials and practical computer-based development activity. The most important aspect of this module is an end-to-end integrated Development Environment (IDE). Systems analysis and design has developed into a holistic activity and this is evident in how the practical’s and tutorials are conducted (LOs 1, 2, 3 and 4).
|
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.
|
Assessment is by practical submissions and an end-of-module examination.The coursework is one piece of work including three deliverables, an initial model, an elaborated model and a tested and implemented system. These contribute to LO1, LO2, LO3 and LO4 respectively to the overall assessment. There is also a two hour examination at the end of the module worth 50% (LOs 1, 2, 3 and 4).The activities and the summative assessment are characterised by the application of theory to practice and including reflective elements in which the student is encouraged to have a deeper understanding of the subject by examining and assessing other published sources. The assessment by practical work encourages students to work steadily through the duration of the module. The tools used are extensively used in the commercial context and their use here supports the students development of their skills portfolio.
