Teaching Rationale And Relationship

The combination of recorded content and other non-synchronously delivered content such as digital tutorials, quizzes and discussion boards are augmented by weekly timetabled in-class activities that build upon the online content, reinforce principles and provide additional context. The tutorials provide a positive environment for students to practice problem solving with support from the module team. The coursework element is guided through PiP problem introduction, detailed written problem statements, example solutions and a structured submission portal.

Present-in-person activity accounts for 100% of synchronous teaching.

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
Prob solv exercises1MExtensive embedded formative assessment will take place in each tutorial. Exercises will be linked to closed book assessment and example exam questions will be included.
Assessment Rationale And Relationship

The formative computer assessments provide a co-ordinated and incremental set of problems that cover computational, mathematical, conceptual, and critical thinking question types. The problem-solving exercises include example exam questions to allow students to become familiar with the assessment style. Students are able to view these as they would be shown in the actual exam. The theory element is examined first in order to focus students’ effort on the underpinning material, in the second semester this theory is put into practice in the coursework element which is formed around a real-world local industrial system.
A single A4 sheet (two-sided) may be prepared in advance and taken into the exam as a study support.
