Teaching and Learning Strategies
LEARNING AND TEACHING METHODS
Teaching will be in the form of lectures and independent learning. Lectures will provide students with detailed information on biomedical practice. In addition to lectures, independent learning will be required through the use of directed reading and students will be encouraged to broaden their knowledge by utilising a wide range of learning resources. The module will be delivered fully online.
Module Assessment Strategies
Written assignment [20%]
Assignment 1
A Business Case Study reflection (500 word equivalent) which accounts for 20% of the marks of the module. A business case will be provided to students on which they are required to reflect
Portfolio [80%]
Assignment 2
A Reflective Practice Portfolio (1,500 word equivalent) which accounts for 80% of the marks of the module. Students will be provided with a reflective sheet proforma and will be asked to reflect on the lectures in the module.
The module is assessed by 100% coursework. This is divided into two pieces of assessment designed to meet the learning outcomes of the module. Student should consider the Ulster University assessment criteria for Level 6 work prior to submitting their assignments.
Individual student feedback will be written and detailed against each criteria. Detailed guidance will be provided on the preparation and submission of each assignment in the module area throughout the duration of the module.
Feedback for assignment 1 and 2 will be provided on a rubric-based feedback sheets with additional written comments as appropriate allowing students to identify where they did well and how they can improve.
