Teaching, Learning and Assessment
Acquisition of knowledge is achieved mainly through illustrated and annotated presentation materials, individual and group exercises and directed student-centred learning where appropriate resource material is available. Understanding is reinforced through both the exercises and the main end-of-module assessments which typically take the form of an essay (usually case study),technological task and/or technical report. Testing of the knowledge base is undertaken in the form of the essays, reports, technological tasks. Intellectual skills are developed in part through exercises during the module delivery and principally through end-of-module assignments, which test all learning outcomes. Individual exercise and group exercises within the taught part of the programme are designed to permit students to demonstrate achievement of learning outcomes. Analysis and problem solving skills are assessed in the form of essays, reports and technological tasks. Professional practical skills are developed in a coordinated manner throughout the programme. Real-life examples and case studies are used to illustrate techniques and risk management issues, hence relating the learning to workplace examples. Where a programme is being delivered to a cohort of students from the same employer, company-specific case studies and examples may be used. Professional skills are assessed (informally / implicitly) through essays, reports and technological tasks. Transferable skills permeate every activity within the programme content and assessment.
