Teaching and Learning Strategies |
|
Quantitative key skills: General key skills Recorded Lectures will also be given to develop the investigative skills of the students within chemistry and to encourage career planning. Students will be given a series of tasks to complete. Where possible, these will be based on material from the recorded lectures and will develop their key skills, particularly in writing and presentation. These tasks will involve individual and team exercises with a variety of oral and written components. To provide support for the tasks, students will receive tutorials (to be given by their academic advisors) in which the skills required for the set tasks will be discussed and developed. Extensive use of Canvas and email will be made by this module, with students being expected to consult Canvas to view announcements, obtain information on presentations and tutorial tasks and submit assessments. |
