Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
This module is delivered live, online and in a workshop format over a three day period. All content is recorded, to enable you to review module content whilst you develop the empirical component of your PGR degree project. The module combines theory and practice whilst the workshop format facilitates highly interactive sessions with input and debate between you and the teaching team. Breakout rooms will facilitate critical discourse and enhance your understanding of LOs 1 and 2. You will present your proposed research methodology(ies) - providing a clear rationale for your selection - at a 'round-table' consisting of the teaching teams and fellow students where you will engage with critique and receive developmental feedback (LOs 3 and 4).
|
The workshop format and interactive sessions facilitate continuous formative feedback throughout the module. The 'round-table' provides an opportunity to receive personalised feedback.
|
Assessment 1, due in Week 11, is a report outlining a plan for a Pilot Study of your PGR degree project. The outline plan for your pilot study should include details of how you propose to undertake your pilot study. Based upon your reflection of the module content and feedback received at the 'round table', you will refine and finalise a short plan for your pilot study.Assessment 2, due Week 15, is a Research Methodology Report and covers LOs 3 and 4.
