Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
This module uses a combination of class lectures (LOs 2, 3, and 4), group tutorials (LOs 1, 2, 3, and 4) and fortnightly individual tutorials (LOs 1-6) to ensure (1) you are fully aware of the requirements and obligations of a dissertation-length research project, (2) you contribute with your peers to a research community, and (3) you progress satisfactorily with your individual research projects. You may also attend your supervisor’s scheduled office hours should you wish further guidance between your scheduled individual tutorials. These additional meetings will be brief and should address a specific issue in your research. They are a supplement to your scheduled individual tutorials and do not replace them. Independent learning constitutes the major component of your activity (LOs 1-6). Your supervisor’s expertise and experience in research will help you to conceive and develop your research project in as much depth and as efficiently as possible. Moreover, the combination of independent research and individual tutorials will enable you to develop project management skills and improve your critical capacities and autonomy as a researcher. The module utilises Moodle to support a research culture and further foster research project management skills.
|
This module has two approaches to formative feedback. First, in your fortnightly supervision sessions you will discuss your research with your supervisor and receive extensive feedback and guidance. In the early weeks you will discuss research notes and practices, methodologies, and research questions, and near the end of the module you will discuss and get written feedback on drafts of your dissertation. Second, in the two group tutorials you will discuss your research with your colleagues, getting peer feedback on your progress.
|
The summative assessment is divided into two elements. 90% of your mark is based on your dissertation. This is double marked. Your dissertation will be anonymised for the second reader. The remaining 10% of your mark assesses your research process. Your supervisor will evaluate the professionalism you demonstrate as a researcher.
