Description
00976: Workshop: This module comprises a series of workshops in which physics understanding is developed through solving general problems. Training is provided in various communication skills, that may include using document preparation software, e.g. LaTeX, giving oral presentations, working in small groups both to solve problems and prepare a poster. Students are made aware of the issues and consequences of plagiarism. Career planning, including guidance on CV preparation, is introduced. Programming skills are introduced and developed in the computing laboratory sessions.
