Mode of study

Some of this module’s study materials are online. Online materials are composed of pages of text with images; audio/video clips of 1-10 minutes (all with transcripts/subtitles); diagrams; interactive media; and multiple-choice self-assessed quizzes. Online materials also include links to external resources, online forums and online tutorial rooms. Module software (R, delivered via Jupyter notebooks) is accessible through a standard web browser.

Tuition strategy

This module has online tutorials. Although not compulsory, tutorials will help you consolidate your learning.

Mathematical and scientific expressions and notations

You’ll be required to use mathematical and scientific symbols and expressions throughout the module and within assessment.

Diagrams and other visual content

The study materials contain a considerable number of graphs. Reading/interpreting/producing examples of these is an important part of the study of this module, and we assess this. We provide descriptions for all essential figures.

Finding information

You could be required to search for, and make use of, third-party material online, and we may assess this. We can provide alternatives for required/assessed research material to enable you to meet the learning outcomes of the module.

Specialist reading material

In this module, you’ll be working with specialist reading material such as mathematical notation. We’ll present these online; in printed form; via a third party; via third-party software.

Assessment

This module has tutor-marked assignments (TMAs) and an end-of-module assessment (EMA) that you must submit via the online TMA service.

Feedback

You’ll receive feedback from your tutor on your submitted Tutor-Marked Assignments (TMAs). This will help you to reflect on your TMA performance. You should refer to it to help you prepare for your next assignment.

Schedule

We structure all University modules to a set timetable and you’ll need time-management skills to keep your studies on track. We’ll support you in developing these skills.

Specialist software

This module uses specialist symbols that standard accessibility tools don’t cover. The module materials and assessment ask you to use the following specialist software: R, delivered via Jupyter notebooks – and may not be fully accessible as a result. Students with visual impairment or limited manual dexterity may require sighted or manual assistance.
