On completion of this module a student will:
- have written a research proposal, written and executed a research plan, and made a short conference presentation
- understand and be able to execute primary and secondary research
- be able to present their research and answer questions on this research in a conference environment
In the early weeks of the term, students will attend meetings with the module convenor to learn to write a research proposal and a plan of study. In the remainder of the term, students will work independently on their research but meet to present a rough draft of this research, which will receive feedback. The module will conclude with a mini mock conference, where students will present their final research.
