The One Health unit is aimed at exploring how research influences and improves the understanding of animal and human health and disease and how it interacts with clinical practice and policy making
Aims of the Unit
The successful student is expected to acquire the skill to:
Online synchronous and asynchronous teaching and learning
Use of Virtual learning environment (Blackboard)
In person sessions
Small group tasks
Formative assessments (must complete):
Summative assessments:
The passmark for each summative coursework element is 40%. Students failing to achieve a pass for any element of the unit will be required to undertake a comparative piece(s) of coursework during the resit period.
The resit opportunity for the VN Programmes is routinely scheduled during the University resit window (Late August / early September). Exceptionally, the final year resit period shall be scheduled to dovetail with the Veterinary Science Programme's resit opportunity every July.
If this unit has a Resource List, you will normally find a link to it in the Blackboard area for the unit. Sometimes there will be a separate link for each weekly topic.
If you are unable to access a list through Blackboard, you can also find it via the Resource Lists homepage. Search for the list by the unit name or code (e.g. VETS30034).
How much time the unit requires
Each credit equates to 10 hours of total student input. For example a 20 credit unit will take you 200 hours
of study to complete. Your total learning time is made up of contact time, directed learning tasks,
independent learning and assessment activity.
See the Faculty workload statement relating to this unit for more information.
Assessment
The Board of Examiners will consider all cases where students have failed or not completed the assessments required for credit.
The Board considers each student's outcomes across all the units which contribute to each year's programme of study. If you have self-certificated your absence from an
assessment, you will normally be required to complete it the next time it runs (this is usually in the next assessment period).
The Board of Examiners will take into account any extenuating circumstances and operates
within the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes.
