Fieldwork and online practical work are a compulsory component of this module, and aspects of these will be assessed.
This module includes an optional residential school provided by the Field Studies Council (FSC). We expect it to be about three days long and take place around March–April. The cost of the optional residential school is not included in the module fee. You must book with the FSC directly to secure a place and pay your deposit.
You’ll use mathematical and scientific symbols and expressions throughout the module and within assessment tasks.
The study materials contain diagrams, graphs and photographs. Reading, interpreting and 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. We provide transcripts and/or closed captions for videos.
You must search for and use third-party material online and reference it appropriately. This will be assessed.
In this module, you’ll work with specialist reading material, such as journal articles that contain mathematical notation. We’ll present these online.
This module has tutor-marked assignments (TMAs) and an end-of-module assessment (EMA).
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.
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.
The module materials and assessment ask you to use the following specialist software: StatsCloudPRO.
