I’m amazed at how much on our course they actually let us do. We get to use things that are quite expensive pieces of machinery that you’ve heard about being used and we actually get to use it which I find really interesting.
Learning and assessment
You will have a mix of lectures, seminars, laboratory practicals, workshops, case studies and directed study.
Directed study will include directed reading of selected textbooks, specified source literature and open learning materials, directed Web-based materials, report writing and other assignments. There will also be an individual project/dissertation.
You will be assessed via written closed-book examinations using constructed (essays, short answers) and selected response (MCQ) questions and a variety of coursework assignments, including laboratory reports, oral presentations and dissertations.
Involvement in laboratory, small-group workshops, case-based work and projects (individual and small group) will also be part of your assessment.
You will be assessed by critical appraisal, case analysis and critique, case presentations, laboratory reports and dissertations.
