The aim of this unit is to develop key skills: the ability of students to work on collaborative research projects and to present their work to an audience. Students will work in small centrally assigned groups (3-4) on a particular topic stemming from one of the Lecture Response units taken in Teaching Block 1 (the choice of Lecture Response Unit lies with the student). Groups develop their chosen topic independently as a collaborative project, with each individual working on a particular aspect of the topic.
Four introductory lectures provide preliminary methodological and technical guidance, and explain the assessment criteria. A series of workshops with staff input follows to help groups define their project and to discuss their plans for the presentation. The Unit Co-ordinator will be the first and normal point of staff contact for any queries. Other than this, students will be expected to work together and unaided.
1 x 40 minute group presentation (100% of UAM)
