Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Weekly lectures and tutorials will use a variety of methods including face-to-face lectures, discussions of recommended readings, audio-visual resources, and group activities to foster student engagement. Student autonomy will be developed by encouraging students to choose their own topics within the sociology of health and illness, and researching sources and materials to support their work.Tutorials will include activities to enhance learning and study skills including group work exercises which will develop interpersonal and communication skills, discussions and debates around key readings, and short presentations to encourage students to develop their ability to summarise and synthesise ideas. Academic skills will be developed by encouraging and supporting students to source and research their own materials. Guest speakers, such as health care practitioners, will be invited to take part in discussions in tutorial groups as appropriate; this will enhance student understanding of some aspects of the module as well as contributing to employability by enhancing their understanding of working in health care settings.
|
Formative assessment will be delivered in tutorials in the form of face-to-face interactions focusing on understanding of subject knowledge and reading materials, and preparation for the summative assessments. Skills in conducting literature searches on academic databases will be developed, both in classroom time and by discussing the results of students’ searches in tutorials. Discussions of readings will enable the students to focus on the topic they wish to choose for their summative assignment, and develop their ability to critique the literature and develop their arguments.
|
Summative assessment 1 – This will be a short proposal for the essay which forms the second summative assessment, which will be on a self-chosen topic within the scope of the module. The proposal will outline the topic the student wishes to discuss and present an indicative literature search. This will enable the module leader to ensure that the topic is manageable and within scope, and to provide advice for the completion of the essay.Summative assessment 2 – This will be a 3000 word essay due in Week 14 on a topic chosen by the student.
