Teaching and Learning Strategies
This module will be delivered using blended learning techniques. This will include online lectures (via Adobe Connect or similar), workshops and site visits augmented by independent learning and directed learning. This approach is expected to address student-learning needs. Moodle will be used to upload educational material (i.e. presentations and recordings of online lectures plus supplementary reading material) and as a means of assessment (e.g. quizzes, uploading assignments and journals). This blended approach (lectures and workshops) brings students together to facilitate group learning.
Module Assessment Strategies
This module is 50% Continuous Assessment and 50% Final Exam.
Assessment will consist of two MCQs in weeks 4 - 6 and 8 - 10.
A practical assignment (given in weeks 2 - 4) must be submitted in weeks 10 - 12.
Repeat Assessments
Repeat Continuous Assessment and/or Final Exam.
