Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Initial sessions will focus on project planning, as well as consideration of safety issues appropriate to your area of study and data organisation and documentation (LO1-3). Subsequent contact with supervisors is highly individualised, and will equip you with the skills needed to utilise appropriate techniques and tools to undertake your research, analyse data appropriately and present your work to appropriate standards of presentation (LO1-4). Although supervision will be provided, much of the module is premised on your active and autonomous engagement in your chosen area of research. There will also be sessions organised to provide opportunities to evaluate exemplar posters and peer-group feedback on interpretation of data collected. The research project is a key vehicle for the development of your employability and scholarship skills, notably time management, independence, self-motivation and organisation, synthesis and analysis of diverse information and presentation skills.
|
Formative support will be provided by your supervisor(s) throughout the project period. Feedback on your proposal (LO1) will feed forward into your project report (LO1-4). In addition formative feedback will be provided on a draft of your project report (excluding the discussion, LO1-4) and your poster presentation (LO2-4) prior to submission.
|
Your summative assessment is based on your proposal (LO1), final written project report (LO1-4) and poster presentation (LO2-4). The report will be written in a concise, scientific paper-style format. Posters will be displayed at organised poster sessions to allow staff and peers to view work undertaken and also assessment of the actual posters by staff.
