Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
The student must be employed as a Graduate Level Apprentice to complete this module. The students taking this module are primarily based in and around Edinburgh. The delivery is monthly day release, face to face. For a module this equates to 2 hours per week of lectures, supported by online materials.This module adopts a blended approach within formative laboratory-based practicals, discussion tutorials and seminars, and lectures. Practical instruction is supported with virtual learning environment (VLE) resources aimed at reinforcing some of the principles discussed in lectures and tutorials, with further directed study also provided. Students will be expected to do self-oriented research and provide a critical analysis and evaluation of much of the theories behind these subjects (LOs 1, 2). Teaching will concentrate on the critical analysis of that information and on practical exercises (LOs 3, 4). Students are expected to spend a large proportion of their time doing comprehensive reading and practice. Tutorial and practical materials are well organised and selected for enhancing students’ understanding of the theories/principles covered.
|
To support formative feedback, the GA students will come in for a day per month, to ensure they have direct contact with the module leader and their peers. During these day sessions, staff will discuss and evaluate student progress and provide feedback on how well they are progressing with their work. This will be through a mixture of taught materials, tutorial sessions, and lab work where appropriate.
|
Assessment will comprise two independent components, practical coursework 1 and practical coursework 2. The two pieces of coursework will be designed to ensure that students can reflect on how the tools and techniques taught in this module could be used within their work place. Fundamentals and visualization practical skills will be tested in component 1 (LOs 1, 3, 4), while fundamentals and practical skills in data mining will be assessed by the component 2 (LOs 1, 2, 3, 4).
