Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
In this module you will have minimal face to face contact and instead will be using an independent study approach assisted by academic supervisors. This will be the case for your learning outcomes 1-6. The module leader will assist you to identify academic supervisors who are experts in particular areas of interest. Also, you will be provided with guidance with regards to internal processes (i.e. ethics application, risk assessments) and you will be directed to appropriate resources i.e. library services, external collaborators for research projects etc.
|
Formative assessments: there will be a number of formative assessments staged throughout the module to assist in measuring your progress and identify areas you might need further support. These will be delivered by your academic project supervisor/s and will include feedback on drafts of work i.e. initial project area/literature review, project proposal, methods and analysis plans, ethics application, oral project presentation, dissertation chapter drafts etc. You will be also asked to submit a 2000 word literature review to your supervisor for feedback. You will start developing your research project proposal early after the module commencement with the aim to also obtain ethical approval (if required) within the first months of your involvement. This will enable you to engage earlier with the research process and have enough time for procedures such as: data collection, analysis and project write up.
|
Summative assessments will be applied to this module through two pieces of assessment work. Your first summative assessment is an oral presentation of your project protocol (15minutes), and contributes 20% to the overall assessment (LO: 1,2,6). Your second summative assessment is a submission of a final report (4,000 words), worth 80% of the module assessment written in a scientific journal paper style (LO: 1,2,3,4,5,6).
