The study materials contain a considerable number of diagrams and graphs, and some computer animations, screencasts and photographs. Reading and interpreting these is an important part of the study of this module. Figure descriptions are provided for most figures.
In this module you will be working with specialist reading material which includes mathematical notation. This is delivered online; units, extra exercises and a handbook are also delivered in printed form.
This module has tutor-marked assignments (TMAs) that you may submit via the online TMA service or by post, self-assessed practice quizzes completed online, and a remote exam.
We’re using a new examination verification process for this module. We may ask you to attend a 15-minute post-exam video discussion, where you’ll present a photo ID and discuss your answers to a small number of questions with a tutor or member of the module team. The discussion isn’t graded; it’s only to verify that you completed the exam yourself.
You will 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. Solutions and some explanation will also be provided for the interactive practice quizzes.
All University modules are structured according to a set timetable and you will need time-management skills to keep your studies on track. You will be supported in developing these skills.
