Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Learning & Teaching methods including their alignment to LOsLO 1-5: You will be orientated towards high-level independent study based on the preparatory work conducted in previous research modules. You will be allocated a dissertation supervisor and will have access to up to 12 hours of supervision (face-to-face or online). Individual supervisors work closely with you on a one-to-one basis to set goals, monitor progress and provide general and specific advice on research strategy, framing questions and scholarly writing. Moodle is used to provide further guidance and will be used as a forum for discussion. Embedding of employability/PDP/Scholarship Skillsyou will be able to develop theoretical and practical understanding learned throughout the Programme. PDP will be enhanced through critical reflection and investigation of a topic related to their target degree. You will develop independent study and research skills, critical analysis and evaluation. The nature of a sustained and in-depth study can prove a valuable resource for future employment or further study. Research / teaching linkagesThe research and teaching linkages are promoted through the continuing research activity of the Programme team which includes a range of methods and a variety of specialist topics. The team also draw on their extensive experience of scholarly writing and publications.

The module has identifiable points for formative assessment which will include feedback on a research proposal. These take place at different points in the trimester and will be subject to individual negotiations between the supervisor and the student.
|
This module has a single component of summative assessment to be submitted in Week 13. Through the dissertation, you will undertake an independent research project and will produce a dissertation of between 10,000 and 12,000 words.
