Overall aims and purpose
- Darparu trosolwg bras ar y prosesau ffisegol a dynol sydd wedi arwain at ffurfio Eryri.
- Archwilio’r prosesau sy’n gysylltiedig â ffurfio tirwedd mewn amrywiaeth o raddfeydd gofodol ac amserol.
- Archwilio’r cysylltiad rhwng prosesau byd-eang a lleoedd penodol yn Eryri.
- Datblygu dull amlddisgyblaethol o feddwl am faterion amgylcheddol.
- Galluogi myfyrwyr i wneud cysylltiadau rhwng theori a gwaith maes.
Course content
Bydd y modiwl hwn yn cyfuno darlithoedd a gwaith maes i roi trosolwg bras ar y prosesau sydd wedi creu nodweddion arbennig tirwedd Eryri. Bydd y modiwl yn canolbwyntio ar bum brif thema, sef daeareg, ecoleg, coedwigaeth, amaeth a chymdeithas. Bydd y darlithoedd yn rhoi trosolwg bras ar y pynciau ac yn cyflwyno pwyntiau damcaniaethol a chysyniadol perthnasol. Y prif feysydd dan sylw fydd: daeareg waelodol; rhewlifiant; ecoleg ôl-rewlifol; ffurfio pridd; hanes gwleidyddol y gymuned; coedwigaeth breifat a choedwigaeth y wladwriaeth; hanes preswyliad dynol a defnydd adnoddau; hanes ffurfio a datblygu’r parc cenedlaethol. Bydd myfyrwyr yn cael eu hebrwng i safleoedd allweddol sy’n dangos sut y mae’r prosesau hyn yn rhyngweithio ac yn berthnasol i leoedd penodol.
Assessment Criteria
excellent
Mae’r myfyriwr yn dangos gwybodaeth drylwyr am y pwnc a gallu amlwg i ddod ag amrywiol elfennau'r deunydd cwrs ynghyd. Tystiolaeth o ddarllen cefndirol. Nid oes unrhyw feysydd pwysig wedi eu hepgor ac mae’r myfyriwr yn dangos y gallu i ddadansoddi a gwerthuso gwybodaeth berthnasol yn feirniadol. Arddull gyflwyno eglur, gryno a ddisgrifiadol yn yr aseiniad a’r tasgau ysgrifenedig.
threshold
Mae gan y myfyriwr ddealltwriaeth sylfaenol o’r egwyddorion a gwybodaeth sylfaenol am y pwnc. Trafodir gwybodaeth berthnasol mewn dyfnder sylfaenol yn yr aseiniad a’r tasgau ysgrifenedig. Nodir mwyafrif y materion allweddol, ond efallai bod rhai bylchau o ran dealltwriaeth. Nid yw’r cysylltiad rhwng theori ac ymarfer wedi ei ddatblygu’n effeithiol.
good
Mae’r myfyriwr yn dangos gwybodaeth gadarn am y pwnc, y gallu i gyfrannu’n adeiladol at y ddadl a’r gallu i ysgrifennu adroddiadau craff gyda dadleuon da. Yn cyflwyno gwybodaeth yn ddisgrifiadol yn yr aseiniadau a’r tasgau ysgrifenedig.
