Module Details
Module Learning Strategies
A blocked 3-hour laboratory tutorial period each week.
Parts of the block (e.g. The first and last hour) will be tutored and will comprise a mix of delivered material (including presentations) and guided tutorial work, which will include individual and group activities.
Other parts of the block (e.g. The middle hour) will be set aside for untutored independent resource based learning. This will include problem based learning where students will be set a specific problem that requires a solution to be found, working through a tutorial book or analysing a case study. Every alternate week (six times in each 12-week teaching block), this session will be used as a surgery session for peer and self assessment to provide formative feedback and for guidance on assessment work.
Independent study will involve directed reading in order to extend knowledge in areas of the indicative content covered by the classroom teaching.
