There will also be a study skills element to the module which will focus on developing skills for undergraduate study and will present many opportunities for formative feedback. This will include input on assignment preparation and essay writing, library skills, interpersonal and communication skills, referencing and plagiarism, and academic reading.Summative Assessment LOs 1-4: The summative assessment will involve the production of an essay that critically evaluates a research article.
