In this module students will work with a member of the academic staff to research the literature relating to a current topic in the Biosciences.
The overall aim of the project is to help students become effective independent learners, using a research-led and enquiry-based approach. The module provides an opportunity for students to develop and demonstrate transferrable skills including: Independence and organisation, literature and data base research, appropriate use of GAI, extended writing, summarising and processing complex information, critical analysis, experimental design and interpretation.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the Module, students should be able to:
Collect, organise and synthesise and critically analyse a large body of information from a range of relevant sources and present their findings in a structured written report
Demonstrate understanding of the work in a viva
Develop an E portfolio which is contemporaneous and provides evidence for the development of the work
Identify an area for further research and design appropriate experimental approaches to investigate this further
Show an understanding of the Safety and Ethical issues of the proposed research
Communicate and justify the concepts of the project to a diverse range of target audiences
