Online materials also include links to external resources, online forums and online tutorial rooms. Module software is provided in a virtualised computing environment.
If you’re using printed materials as part of reasonable adjustments to support your studies, note that printed versions of online materials are unavailable for this module.
This module has online tutorials. Although not compulsory, tutorials will help you consolidate your learning.
Online practical work – programming, data investigations and analysis – is a required component of assessment. This includes some optional collaborative group work. This module extends your knowledge of using an online OpenStudio environment which allows show-and-tell and crowd-sourced feedback.
Mathematical and scientific symbols and expressions are used throughout the module and you will be required to use such notation within assessment.
The study materials contain a considerable number of diagrams, graphs and photographs. Reading, interpreting and producing examples of these is an important part of the study of this module and is assessed. Figure descriptions are provided for most figures. The module also uses a range of visualisation techniques to interpret, present and explain data.
You may be required to search for, and make use of, third-party material online and this is assessed. Alternatives for required/assessed research material can be provided to enable you to meet the learning outcomes of the module.
In this module you will be working with specialist reading material such as computer code and some mathematical notation. There is also some graphical notation and some visualisations. These are delivered online.
This module has tutor-marked assignments (TMAs) and an end-of-module assessment (EMA) that you must submit via the online TMA/EMA service and interactive computer-marked assignments completed online.
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.
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.
