Teaching and Learning Methods: The module consists of lectures and seminars, supported by laboratory based practical work in the ratio of 1:2. Assessment Rationale: The importance of practical understanding of, and ability to communicate, scientific information concerning colour measurement and reproduction is reflected in the weighting of assessment marks with a total of 75 % being awarded for laboratory work. (Learning outcomes: 2-3,5). Written coursework may consist of an essay (15%), and a number of problems relating to colour measurement and representation (10%), requiring a detailed and accurate analysis at the appropriate level, with justifications and assumptions as necessary. Students are encouraged to consult a range of sources, and assignments are timed to enable valuable feedback. (Learning outcomes (1-2,4) Assessment Criteria: The extent to which the student is able to demonstrate: • Knowledge of measurement of various sources and colour samples. • Understanding of the reproduction of colour in digital imaging systems. • Ability to carry out measurement from images to evaluate the colour transfer characteristics of various imaging systems. • Interpret experimental results with due regard for experimental errors, discuss and conclude on the findings in the light of other published results or expected outcomes.
