| Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
The majority of learning will be student-led and will involve independent learning activities directed towards the chosen topic (LOs 1-5). Students will be assigned a project supervisor, who will support the student through one-to-one meetings to discuss issues related to their project (max. of 8 hours face-to-face supervision per student); the nature and format of these meetings will depend on the research topic at hand. In addition, class workshops will support students at key points over the course of the project.
|
There will be several opportunities for formative assessment throughout the two trimesters. Early in Trimester 1, students will submit a brief project proposal to their project supervisors, who will comment on the feasibility of the project (LOs 1-4). Later in Trimester 1, students will submit and receive feedback on an application for ethical approval (LO 4). Students will also have the opportunity to submit draft sections of their projects to supervisors to gain feedback, with the final draft being submitted by week 9, Trimester 2 (LOs 1-5).
|
There will be one summative assessment for the module: the final project (week 12, Tri 2; LOs 1-5). This will be an 8,000-word empirical project on a psychology topic.
