Teaching Rationale And Relationship
Lecture materials delivered by practitioners define the scope of the course and communicate knowledge and problems as the basis for further study. Practical sessions will frame the underpinning knowledge within a practical context enabling the student to develop their understanding of the multidisciplinary subject and its relevance. Formative teaching activities will be provided throughout the module. These include problem-solving questions within lecture materials. Structured guided learning activities will be used for self-directed learning and includes: reading lecture notes & relevant journal articles; preparation for practical classes (which will include a student-led session); using learning resources on the Web; data handling of data collected in the lab and practice exam questions. Skills practiced include critical thinking, active learning, numeracy, planning & organisation and independence.
Assessment Methods
The format of resits will be determined by the Board of Examiners
Other Assessment
| Description | Semester | When Set | Percentage | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Case study | 1 | M | 80 | Students will be required to complete the case study - 2000 words. |
| Oral Examination | 1 | M | 20 | PIP 20 minute group oral presentation on multidisciplinary approach to managing injuries. |
Assessment Rationale And Relationship
The group presentation will encourage students to work within a team and verbally communicate the material to staff and peers. They will be asked to answer questions to further their knowledge. The oral presentation will mainly assess the knowledge outcomes. Students will also peer assess the presentations.
The report takes the form of a proposal to deliver and evaluate a multidisciplinary intervention in a group of young athletes in a large sports institute. It is designed to test the skills outcomes. Students will be expected to draw on material covered in a number of different modules within their proposal to ensure a multidisciplinary approach to addressing the applied problem and communicate these to a multidisciplinary audience.
