Approaches to Teaching and Learning:
The module will be taught through lectures, class discussion, and active learning activities designed to support engagement with the material. Students are expected to participate actively in class.
• Active participation: The majority of classes are held in the O’Connor Centre for Learning, which is an Active Learning Environment. You will generally sit in groups, and classes will involve substantial active participation both within your groups and in whole-class activities and discussions. Active participation is an integral part of this module. You are expected to come to class prepared to participate, contribute to discussions, explain your reasoning, and engage with your classmates. Classes are therefore designed around active participation rather than passive listening.
• If you prefer a class in which you primarily listen to lectures and work independently, this module may not be a good fit for you.
Policy on the use of Generative AI: Generative AI, such as ChatGPT, may be used in the project in the following ways:
• To generate ideas and organise the structure of the report.
• To understand main concepts/theories and find definitions.
• To correct grammar and improve the writing style of your own work.
• To assist with reference formatting.
• For technical assistance, such as instructions on how to use a statistical software.
Please note the following:
1. The use of AI-generated content without explicit permission and attribution is a form of academic misconduct. Plagiarism risk is high when using AI, and it is not acceptable to submit AI-generated content as it is. If you copy and paste entire AI-generated answers, it will be considered plagiarism. Even AI co-created work is considered collusion if you present it all as your own.
2. You are therefore required to explicitly state whether AI was used in the assignment and how.
3. Be aware that AI-generated lists of publications and other sources are predictions only; they may not truly exist, therefore you should not rely on AI for your literature search.
4. You should also check all information provided by AI for accuracy. Be sure that you can verify all generated text, again, do NOT simply copy/paste the AI-generated information into your report.
5. If academic misconduct is suspected, you may be asked to discuss or explain components of your assignment to determine the authenticity of the work.
