Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
A number of approaches are utilised to promote the concept of student as an independent and a collaborative learner. A range of lectures, student centred discussion, and small group sessions facilitate students’ learning of the underpinning theory relating to topical subjects (LOs 1 – 4). Student understanding is further developed by the use of group work, discussion, and debate (LOs 2, 3, 4). These sessions are student led with the lecturer acting as facilitator. Students are encouraged to use problem solving techniques by the posing of problems facing society and its use of animals. The group presentation assessment fosters team working skills, develops researching skills and emphasises collaborative learning, and is a valuable preparation for the workplace.(LOs 1-4)Moodle is used to provide further reading material, independent student led tasks, quizzes and revision tests relating to course material covered in class.
|
Three scheduled sessions will be made available to facilitate students with the group presentation prior to the summative assessment. These sessions are student led with the lecturer acting as facilitator and providing feedback. A final practice session is held in week 10.
|
Group Presentation: Groups of 4 or 5 students deliver an oral presentation using powerpoint slides on one non-human animal species. This should cover all learning outcomes. Each student must deliver part of the presentation and questions will be asked of each student at the end of the presentation. The overall mark for the group presentation makes up 50% of each individual student’s final mark. In addition, students individually must submit a written transcript of their part of the presentation with references and an outline of their contribution to the group work. This will make up the remaining 50% of their individual final mark.
