Mols8211 Lecture schedule for 2025

To enable students more time to focus on learning, understanding and reflecting on the content of our unit we have revised the assessment structure. There are now only three assessments: a practical report, Pet Protein project and final exam. Although no marks are associated with attendance, all activities provide you with key content designed to help you understand content and complete the assessments.

We value student feedback to be able to continually improve the way we offer our units. As such we encourage students to provide constructive feedback via student surveys, to the teaching staff directly, or via the FSE Student Experience & Feedback link in the iLearn page. Student feedback from the previous offering of this unit was positive overall, with students pleased with the clarity around assessment requirements and the level of support from teaching staff. We will continue to strive to improve the level of support and the level of student engagement.
