Teaching Rationale And Relationship

Formal lectures are designed to deliver the theories and their relation to the current practice in the marine and offshore industries and to explain the use of major techniques. (IKO1-IKO4).
In the revision and tutorial sessions the students are provided with the opportunity to gain oral feedback from the lecturing staff.
The independent study gives time for the students to read the classic and leading edge papers on those topics in their own time and at their own space (ISO1-ISO4).

Assessment Methods

The format of resits will be determined by the Board of Examiners

Formative Assessments

Formative Assessment is an assessment which develops your skills in being assessed, allows for you to receive feedback, and prepares you for being assessed. However, it does not count to your final mark.

Assessment Rationale And Relationship

The exam allows students to demonstrate knowledge, understanding and the possession of subject-specific, cognitive skills. This also allows students to demonstrate intended learning outcomes across a wide range of topics described in the syllabus (IKO1-IKO4).
