This is a skills driven module which will provide students with competence in various aspects of contemporary research methodology (e.g. project management, study design and evaluation, academic writing) with a view to enabling them to carry out hypothesis driven scientific research and to effectively communicate their findings to the scientific community. It will support the scientific development of the learner and provide a framework for lifelong scientific development and practice.
This module will be delivered using a blended approach suing WebCourses as the core e-learning package. Online teaching will use a combination of synchronous and asynchronous video sessions and tutorials (e.g. in use of a software package) as well as peer-to-peer discussions. A variety of online teaching and learning activities (several of which are not graded) are used to support the development of competence in the various key skills.
