Teaching Rationale And Relationship
The module will consist of online recordings and guided study materials with a mixture of lectures / tutorials to provide structured support for the students' learning. The structured online materials, covering both semesters will define the scope of each of the syllabus topics.
The independent study time is essential for students to work through the lecture material, in their own time and at their own pace.
Teaching materials will use a blended approach of recordings and notes provided online along with lecture sessions.
Assessment Methods
The format of resits will be determined by the Board of Examiners

Formative Assessments
Formative Assessment is an assessment which develops your skills in being assessed, allows for you to receive feedback, and prepares you for being assessed. However, it does not count to your final mark.
| Description | Semester | When Set | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| Computer assessment | 1 | M | Formative quiz set on Canvas |
Assessment Rationale And Relationship
The examination affords students the opportunity to demonstrate knowledge, understanding and possession of subject specific and key skills (IKO1-4 and ISO1-2; C1-C4). The ability to undertake graphical analysis and evaluation of numerical questions, literacy, numeracy, and critical thinking with regards to marine engineering systems and marine electric propulsion systems.
The quiz set on canvas enables the students to assess their understanding of the material in advance of the summative assessment.
