Module summary
The teaching and assessment methods shown below will be kept under review during 2020-21. If it is not possible to deliver traditional face-to-face teaching methods, such as lectures and practical classes, we may need to substitute alterative (online) formats of delivery and amend the timetable accordingly. ‘Independent online learning’ will involve watching pre-recorded lecture material or screen-casts, engaging in learning activities such as online worked examples or remote/virtual laboratory work, etc. Students will be expected to fully engage with all of these activities. The time commitment for independent online learning, and also the frequency and duration of Online Learning Workshops, are approximate and intended as a guide only. Further details will be confirmed when the module commences.Objectives
