Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
The student is required to be employed as a Graduate Apprentice based in and around Edinburgh to be eligible to completethis module, in this format. This module is offered in day release (GA) study mode and will be delivered during the period thatstudents are attending classes from 9 am to 5 pm, one day per week. The delivery of the module is in line with normal universitydelivery models. The traditional lecture materials will be delivered in a blended form using online materials, while in-class timeis devoted to practical exercises, projects, or discussions. The module is designed around online and student-centred learningin practice with an emphasis on building a learning community. The module is introduced by an induction workshop whichintroduces students to the online resources and explains the assessment process.' There will be a combination of traditional lecture/practical format classes supplemented with significant use of a detailedstudy guide and web-based resources LOs 1-6.' This module will be delivered using a combination of lectures, practicals and tutorials during the face to face monthlysessions supported by online activities and directed study. The practicals offer the students a chance to practice theirprogramming skills (LOs 1-6) and the tutorials will be used to emphasise those aspects of software development whichneed discussion and debate, such as problem-based reasoning, software design and test case design(LOs 1-6).' Students are expected to do further reading, significant amounts of directed study and practical work and substantialindependent learning using the detailed study guide and web-based resources. LOs 1-6.

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 one assessment: a project development.The project is a two part one. The students on the first part should deliver a report inwhich they write about their background research, plan and perhaps mock-up theirsolution. The students on the second part should implement and evaluate their idea.The project requires the students to undertake the development of a significant piece ofsoftware in which they pay careful attention to their choice of data structures &algorithms. The students will have to provide a specification for their application thatincorporates key concepts covered in the module. The project forms a formativeassessment built up during the module, covering aspects of all learning outcomes (Part1 of the Coursework). The students at the very end should deliver an implementation oftheir idea and would be marked for that. The project it self forms a summativeassessment covering LOs 1-6.
