| Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
There will be a weekly 2-hour lecture, which for the first half of the module will cover research design and methods (LOs 1-3). The second half of the module will cover statistical techniques relevant to the social sciences (LOs 4-6). Research design lectures will be supported by weekly tutorials (LOs 1-3), which will allow for further discussion of issues covered in lectures, as well as group activities designed to prepare you for conducting original research. Lectures in the second half of the module will cover statistical techniques and will be complimented by weekly SPSS workshops. These workshops will give you hands-on practice of analysing data using SPSS and using statistical techniques discussed in lectures. Moodle will also be used to enhance learning on the module (e.g. video tutorials of SPSS procedures).

Formative assessment 1 – Group research proposal (presentation) (week 6) – Lecturer & Peer feedback on the presentations; Individually, students should provide peer feedback on another group’s research design (LO2) (300 words – prompts will be given).Formative assessment 2 – Practice examples with answers will be provided for each statistical test in tutorials Alongside this there will be other formative exercises in tutorials and computer labs.

Component 1 (70% - 60% + 10%) is a group research proposal (3,000 words), which will assess all of the learning outcomes, but with an emphasis on (LOs 1-3). The group research proposal will constitute (60% of the mark) and will be due in week 13. A group activity log must be provided as an appendix. Included in the group activity log, you will be asked to provide a statement outlining and evaluating your and other group members’ contribution to the research project, both in terms of contribution but in terms of how well you all adhered to the group agreement developed in week 1 (which is developed by the group, but might cover issues such as communication, treating each other with respect), giving examples to support your claims. This will be used by the lecturer to determine your group contribution mark (10% of the mark: 0 for insufficient, 5 for reasonable contribution, 10 for fully contributed). In addition to this, you can only receive the group contribution mark if you participated fully in formative assessment 1 (this is not marked, but you must have contributed).Component 2 (30%) is an individual in-class test (30%), which will also assess all of the learning outcomes, but with an emphasis on (LOs 4-6). This will be predominantly multiple choice, although may involve using SPSS to perform simple functions. (Week 12)
