Overview
Module aims and purpose
In this module, you will: (1) meet, through field trips or guest speakers, people practising bioveterinary science to develop an understanding of the scope of bioveterinary science and the industries/organisations in which it is practiced, (2) be introduced to bioveterinary sciences research and develop research, data and statistical skills, including data handling, computing and interpretation through undertaking small research projects, and (3) develop skills in verbal and written communication.聽
Module learning outcomes
By the end of the module, it is expected that students will be able to:聽
- Describe and reflect on the functions, facilities, services, outputs and job roles in selected organisations operating in the bioveterinary sciences field聽聽
- Evaluate and report data from a small scale animal-based observational project聽聽
- Collect, analyse, interpret and present data from a small research project聽聽
Module content
Students will be introduced to two small-scale applied projects, and will plan how to collect and then analyse the data. Planning observational studies and a research project will require the class to work together as a team or teams.聽聽
Students will be introduced to and receive formal guidance in the development of data handling, statistical analysis and computing skills, and be given an insight into the management of a research project. From these data students will prepare a report (in Semester 1) and a poster presentation for a small workshop (Semester 2).聽聽
Students will also go on visits to or receive talks by outside organisations where bioveterinary science is in practice, enabling them to meet staff, ask questions and gain insight into the industry they are preparing to work in.聽聽
The focus is on bioveterinary sciences practiced in UK, but these challenges can be transferred to other countries and the underlying skills being developed have global application.聽聽
Structure
Teaching and learning methods
A combination of lectures, seminars, supervised practical sessions and field trips will form the basis of the teaching in this module.
Study hours
At least 50 hours of scheduled teaching and learning activities will be delivered in person, with the remaining hours for scheduled and self-scheduled teaching and learning activities delivered either in person or online. You will receive further details about how these hours will be delivered before the start of the module.

Summer The hours in this column will take place during the summer holidays and may be at the start and/or end of the module.
Assessment
Requirements for a pass
Students need to achieve an overall module mark of 40% to pass this module.

---|---|---|---|---|---|
Written coursework assignment | Individual research report | 40 | |||
Oral assessment | Group poster prepared for presentation in a workshop | 30 | |||
Written coursework assignment | Reflective study based on industry insight gained from visiting speakers/field trips | 30 |
Penalties for late submission of summative assessment
The Support Centres will apply the following penalties for work submitted late:
Assessments with numerical marks
- where the piece of work is submitted after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension to the deadline): 10% of the total marks available for that piece of work will be deducted from the mark for each working day (or part thereof) following the deadline up to a total of three working days;
- the mark awarded due to the imposition of the penalty shall not fall below the threshold pass mark, namely 40% in the case of modules at Levels 4-6 (i.e. undergraduate modules for Parts 1-3) and 50% in the case of Level 7 modules offered as part of an Integrated Masters or taught postgraduate degree programme;
- where the piece of work is awarded a mark below the threshold pass mark prior to any penalty being imposed, and is submitted up to three working days after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension to the deadline), no penalty shall be imposed;
- where the piece of work is submitted more than three working days after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension to the deadline): a mark of zero will be recorded.
Assessments marked Pass/Fail
- where the piece of work is submitted within three working days of the deadline (or any formally agreed extension of the deadline): no penalty will be applied;
- where the piece of work is submitted more than three working days after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension of the deadline): a grade of Fail will be awarded.
The University policy statement on penalties for late submission can be found at: /cqsd/-/media/project/functions/cqsd/documents/qap/penaltiesforlatesubmission.pdf
You are strongly advised to ensure that coursework is submitted by the relevant deadline. You should note that it is advisable to submit work in an unfinished state rather than to fail to submit any work.
Formative assessment
Formative assessment is any task or activity which creates feedback (or feedforward) for you about your learning, but which does not contribute towards your overall module mark.
There will be timetabled sessions when the preparation of the poster and report will be discussed, and when feedback on draft posters and reports will be given.
