Visual optics and perception - SFO1004

Assessment 1: Written assignment (coursework)

Formative assessment of practical/workshop components will consist of feedback on a worksheet-based laboratory report.

Written assignment

Assessment 2: Written practice exercise

Formative feedback for the examination questions will come from worked examples in lectures and workshops.

Written practice excercise

Assessment 3: Exam

The final examination will assess integration of knowledge and understanding of underlying principles and concepts in visual perception gained throughout the year.

Exam

Assessment 2: In-Class Test

MCQ in-class test - A MCQ assessment will assess acquisition of core knowledge of Semester 1 material.  

In-Class Test

Assessment 1: Written Assignment

Concise written report - Data gathered from a practical/laboratory session combined with supportive tutorial sessions will be written up as a short laboratory report. This will test the students’ abilities to condense information into a concise written report. 

<p>This module will cover visual optics building on knowledge gained from the concurrent module on ocular anatomy and physiology (SFO1002) to develop an understanding of how those structures contribute to visual functions. Students will study the mechanisms of spatial, temporal and colour resolution and how these elements feed into normal vision and how this vision may be sub-optimal.</p>
