Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Each taught input uses a variety of audio-visual resources, discussion and activity to foster student engagement. Students will have weekly lectures and tutorials. The tutorials will offer opportunities for discussions of recommended readings. LO1-4 will contribute towards student's knowledge of science and technology in society today.
|
The formative component 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. Preparation for summative assessments will include tutorial exercises devoted to critical thinking skills, structuring an academic argument, presentation skills, and so on. Students will also be given opportunities to bring a draft version of their essay to the tutorials for feedback.
|
LOs 1-4 will be summatively assessed through an essay of the student's own choosing from a selection of questions on science, technology and society.
