Module Organiser:


Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach:
Learning & Teaching methods including their alignment to LOs
Students meet with staff and fellow students to share their progress. Students informally present their findings on a weekly basis to the other students. These sessions culminate with formal presentations (LO1 & LO2).
Students work independently on their practical applications but informally present their progress to other students on a weekly basis. This work culminates with a practical demonstration of the software produced and a written report of the work (LO3 & LO4)

Formative Assessment:
Formative Students share their progress with other students on a weekly basis and get feedback from the module leader.

Summative Assessment:
Summative Students will make presentations to the class about their research paper and research topic and complete a larger piece of practical coursework towards the end of the module. (LO1, LO2, LO3 & LO4)
