The unit Animal Management 2 complements and builds on Animal Management 1, which is taught in Year 1 and introduces students to husbandry systems, and practical 'hands on' management of the species of major veterinary importance.
Animal Management 2 will promote the knowledge and understanding of the management of the species not covered in Animal Management 1 (including exotics) and will provide students with basic knowledge of the sciences that underpin the breeding, feeding, behaviour and husbandry of animals to ensure efficient production, good health and welfare.
At the end of the unit students will have:
The assessments consist of:
End of unit examination: Students will sit a written/computer-based examination at the end of the year. These will test knowledge and understanding of material covered in the Animal Management 2 elements as well as interpretation and problem solving skills.
Coursework: Will include Directed Self Education (DSE) tasks such as presentations and written work.
The overall unit mark is made up of:
Note: Students will be provided with more information about the practical examination and the DSE tasks in the unit handbook and / or by the unit organiser at the start of the academic year.
Assessments will be mapped to the curriculum and will examine all the intended learning outcomes.
Passing Animal Management 2 is a requirement for progression to Year 3.
There will be an opportunity to re-sit the examinations during the resit period.
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. VETS20015).
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 University 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. For appropriate assessments, if you have self-certificated your absence, you will normally be required to complete it the next time it runs (for assessments at the end of TB1 and TB2 this is usually in the next re-assessment period).
The Board of Examiners will take into account any exceptional circumstances and operates
within the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes.
