Additional information

Teaching and Assessment Teaching How will we maximise your learning? At Brunel, we emphasise students’ active involvement in learning – it is not a passive process, whereby you simply ‘absorb’ knowledge. You develop independent study skills through set reading tasks, student-led seminars, group work/presentations, laboratory work and self-testing, culminating in the writing of the final year dissertation. We regularly use formative assessment – the ongoing process whereby students reflect on their own learning – to foster a sense of confidence and independence. In order to maximise your learning opportunities, we are committed to providing you with access to high quality resources (including those designed for students with special needs) and the best possible learning environment. We will introduce you to the services provided by the Library and by the Computer Centre as part of your induction programme and give you a library card along with a username and password allowing you unlimited access throughout your period of study to the library resources, the University intranet, email and the web. How will we teach you? Teaching excellence is given a very high priority at Brunel. Our teaching is enhanced by staff scholarship, research and involvement in sport performance and with national/international agencies and organisations. We constantly review our teaching methods in response to students’ mid-module and end-of-module feedback - continually developing innovative learning and teaching methods, including ‘virtual laboratories’ and online learning. Lectures – Lectures take place in a relatively formal setting. They aim to impart information and to provide you with a framework and the stimulation for independent study.. Seminars – Seminars are an integral part of the teaching process in sport, health and exercise sciences. Lecture material is examined in more detail, or theoretical concepts and/or data are analysed and discussed in small groups...
