Approaches to Teaching and Learning:

This module will be delivered through the combination of lectures and through extensive laboratory practical skill based sessions. Each topic will be presented as a separate work package. Each work package will be allocated different specific goals. These goals will be achieved through self-directed learning and through attendance at the laboratory practical skill based sessions. All material required for self-directed learning will be posted on Brightspace. The self-directed learning material will mainly take the form of specific journal articles which students will be required to read and critically analyse to achieve each of the goals specified for each work package.

Staff may utilise Artificial Intelligence (AI) during the programme to support teaching and learning and it will be clearly indicated if and when AI is used. Students are prohibited from representing work as their own that they did not write, code or create. Submission of AI-generated content to this Module by a student without explicit permission and attribution is not allowed and it may reflect unacceptable professional behaviour. This may result in the initiation of a student disciplinary procedure in accordance with the University Student Code of Conduct and Academic Integrity Policy.
