Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
You will attend for one day per month during term time for intensive face-to-face lectures, workshops, tutorials and computer-based practical sessions (LO 1-4). Each of these days will typically involve two half-day sessions, each consisting of up to 1 hour of lecture followed by up to 2.5 hours of labs/ practical work or by tutorial/seminar/class group work. This will be further supported by online material and a discussion forum using communication technologies such as Moodle and Skype. You will be encouraged to develop your learning through peer and tutor interaction, either face to face or through electronic communication. Teaching comprises a blend of lectures, lab-based practical sessions, together with online materials and support. The lecture programme will enhanced by material from guest speakers which will also be made available online. .Each day will typically involve two half day sessions, each consisting of a 1 hour lecture followed by 2.5 hours of labs/ practical work or by Tutorial/Seminar/Class Group workTeaching will concentrate on the critical analysis of the underlying principles and theories, and of their implementation in the Python language and relevant specialised code libraries, (LOs 1 - 4). Students are expected to spend a substantial proportion of their time doing practical programming exercises and researching the underlying principles and theories, and related academic literature (LOs 1 - 4). The practical materials are organised and selected for enhancing students’ understanding of the theories/principles covered.
|
Formative assessment will be provided during lab-based practical sessions at the face to face monthly meetings. There will also be a series of online quizzes/exercises that will provide formative feedback.
|
The summative assessment will comprise one practical coursework worth 100% of the final mark (covering LOs 1- 4). An element of this coursework will be submitted around week 7 to give feedback (30%: L.Os 1, 2), with the 2nd part of the coursework to be submitted at the end of the module (70%: LOs 3, 4) .
