| Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Learning and teaching methodsStudents will be orientated towards high-level independent study through a blend of approaches. The lecture programme includes the examination of critical analysis, problem-solving and argument relevant to this level of study. Individual supervisors work closely with students on a regular, one-to-one basis to set goals, monitor progress and provide general and specific advice on research strategy, framing research questions and scholarly writing. Seminars enable students to discuss with each other, and to share information and strategies under the guidance of the module leader. WebCT is used to provide detailed guidance notes and examples of all parts of the dissertation process. The module site will also be used as a forum for student discussion.Embedding of employability skills/PDP/ScholarshipStudents will be able to develop theoretical and practical understanding learned in previous years and in the previous trimester. PDP will be enhanced through critical reflection and investigation of a topic related to their target degree. The module develops self-directed and independent study to a high degree. The nature of a sustained and in-depth study can also prove a valuable resource for future employment or advanced study.AssessmentIt is important that a module such as this - with only a single component of summative assessment - has identifable points for formative assessment. These take place throughout the two trimesters. They begin with the dissertation proposal, which forms the basis of negotiation with each student for the entire dissertation. Submission of a literature review in the first month of trimester 2 and the proposed research methodology shortly after offer more detailed opportunities to develop student autonomy through one-to one discussion of their work.Research and teaching linkagesResearch and teaching linkages are promoted through the module leader's continuing research, where he employs
