Teaching & learning Strategies

Guided independent learning is the core strategy on this module. You will have workshop sessions with a group of fellow students to discuss ideas, approaches and problems, and one-on-one meetings with your supervisor to review progress. Both of these will occur in a timetabled weekly slot. The module handbook will provide a detailed learning schedule.

 Use the references to guide to other sources

Second: When writing up:
 Define terms
 Select only relevant material

7. Descriptive and repetitive
8. Little effort
9. PLAGIARISM Zer00000000000

Step Eight: Make sure that you have successful Project
Characteristics of successful Project:
• Evidence of depth and breadth of relevant and contemporary research
• Ability to analyse, evaluate and argue
• Clear and logical structure
• Appropriate application of theoretical concepts and models
• Professional presentation
