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. Practical labs are supported by a workbook where students complete work assignments and also describe the methodologies that they have undertaken (LO 4 - 5). Self-study readings, supported by online discussions forum hosted through the VLE, will develop skills as independent learners (LO 1 - 3). Formative feedback will be provided via online quizzes (LO 1 - 5). The lecture programme will be enhanced by material from guest speakers (where appropriate) and will be made available online.
|
There will be a series of end-of-section online quizzes that will provide formative assessment throughout the course. In general, these can be taken when appropriate for a student, in order to facilitate their own learning. Formative feedback on practical work can also be provided through the online discussion forum and day release sessions. Reflective Exercises will enable students to apply theory to practice – this is not assessed, but it will support personal and professional development.
|
Summative assessment will be in the form of a single component, which will consist of an ongoing software development task and associated written documentation worth 100% of the final mark (covering LOs 1 - 5). We would expect this documentation to reflect on how these tools could be used to improve data management and processing within the student’s workplace.This component will be broken down into two elements, due week 7 and 13. The first element will be submitted in week 7 in order to give interim summative feedback (30%: L.Os 1, 2). The second element will be submitted in week 13 (70%: LOs 3, 4, 5), after which final summative assessment will be given.
