This module will provide the learner with a detailed and holistic overview of fields in biology including evolution, cell biology, taxonomy and phylogenetics, animal, and plant anatomy and physiology, animal behaviour, ecology, and conservation. The module is supported by three practical sessions designed to build skills in scientific anatomical drawing, the use of species identification keys, data collection handling and report writing, group work, and oral presentation skills.
The principal aim of this course is to provide students with the essential foundational knowledge and skills required to carry out undergraduate-level biosciences assignments involving data analysis such as field and lab reports and the final year dissertation. The course is heavily practical-based for experiential learning, providing plenty of opportunities to practice skills, test knowledge, and receive feedback on work that does not count toward the final grade. It covers the basics of handling data, presenting data graphically, selecting appropriate statistical tests, using R software to carry out statistical tests, and writing up results appropriately. Students will receive 14 (1 hr) lectures and 7 (3 hr) compulsory practicals. The assessment is weighted: 10% compulsory practical attendance, 40% coursework, and 50% exam
