are inclusive in nature, are fundamentally significant to these strategies and methods, as are where and how these are specifically distributed within the programme. Ordered by graduate attributes and skills, the following table provides a map of the above, plus an exposition to describe and explain the ideas and strategy of each. Therefore, subsequent to the initial completion for approval, maintenance of this table as and when programme structure changes occur is also important: FdSc Conservation and Ecology levels 4 & 5 Definitions of Graduate Attributes and Skills Relevant to this Programme Teaching and Learning Strategy / Methods Prog Aims Prog intended Learning Outcomes Range of Assessments Related Core Modules Knowledge / Understanding: For this sub-bachelor level programme the following has been informed by the Foundation Degree Qualification Benchmark (FDQB), as well as QAA Subject Benchmark(s): Foundation degree benchmark 42 Biosciences: Generic standards (threshold 3) Molecular aspects of Biology (threshold 5 & 8) Organisms (threshold 2,6,7 &8) Ecology & Environmental Biology (threshold 7) By the end of this level of this programme the students will be able to demonstrate knowledge of the underlying concepts and principles associated with the their area(s) of study and an ability to evaluate and interpret these within the context of those areas of study A threshold pass: • knowledge and critical understanding of the well-established principles in their field of study and the way in which those principles have developed • have an understanding of the explanation of Primary Lectures and tutorials Laboratory practical and fieldwork Learning from work experience Workshops with partner organisations Secondary Visits to nature reserves and relevant science/ natural history education venues Case studies Directed independent study Problem-solving exercises a,b,c,d,e 1,2,3,4,5,7 Examinations Reports Log books Group and individual presentations CORN1013C: Personal and Employability Skills Development ZOO6: Fieldwork CORN115: Diversity, Classification and Evolution CORN157: Introduction to Ecology CORN161: Bird Survey Techniques AQU105: Ecology of Aquatic Systems CORN181: The British Countryside CORN241: Vertebrate
