Description

This module aims to provide students with the skills and techniques required to work in a regulated biomedical laboratory, building on past knowledge/skills developed in earlier modules, and underpinning further study and practice in biomedical sciences.

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;

1.

Carry out laboratory work in a professional manner, and experimentally perform, communicate and interpret laboratory determinations relating a variety of chromatographic techniques to work environment microbial content.

2.

Demonstrate proficiency in microscopy and illustrate the difference between plant and animal cells.

3.

Conduct and describe/interpret an investigation using laboratory biosensor determinations.

4.

Effectively discuss investigations in applied biomedical sciences.

Teaching and Learning Strategies

Teaching and learning will be achieved via laboratory based practical course work, self-directed reading of the subject matter, laboratory report writing, discussion, research project and assessment.

Module Assessment Strategies

Assessment will be achieved through laboratory practical participation, report writing, research assignment and quiz (multiple choice questions/short answer questions).

Repeat Assessments

Repeat assessment will be achieved through laboratory practical participation, report writing, research assignment and quiz (multiple choice questions/short answer questions).
