To ensure that by the end of the first Teaching Block, all COMPASS CDT students have adequate grounding in four areas of core mathematics: theorems and proofs, linear algebra, analysis, and probability theory.
At the end of the Unit, students should be familiar with the mathematical framework of theorems and proofs, and be able to state, prove, and use the core results in linear algebra, analysis, and probability theory.
Teaching will comprise of a series of supervised study groups assembled according to the needs of the cohort.
Formative assessment will be through group feedback to the Unit Director and individual Personal Advisers.
Summative assessment by viva and written assessment/report; bespoke designed by the Unit Director and the Personal Adviser.
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. MATHM0043).
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.
