HNUT40270

Learning Outcomes:

On successful completion of this module student will be able to:
1. Develop an appropriate and original research question and design the research methodology to answer that question.
2. Analyse and interpret the research data appropriately in relation to the research question.
3. Report and critically evaluate the research and its findings in the context of existing research.

Indicative Module Content:

The module will cover critical analysis, applied research design and statistics, scientific writing in developing original and viable research.

Student Effort Hours:

Approaches to Teaching and Learning:

Active/task-based learning, peer and group work, critical writing, reflective learning, enquiry and problem-based learning, interactive tutorials.

This module will focus on creating authentic pieces of inquiry that result in a brief communication paper. This will involve enquiry and problem-based learning, it will use peer and group work to provide feedback and this will in turn require reflective learning as the feedback is applied to improve the final work. Active learning is used in the interactive tutorials.

Feedback Strategy/Strategies

• Feedback individually to students, post-assessment
• Group/class feedback, post-assessment
• Peer review activities
• Self-assessment activities

How will my Feedback be Delivered?

The assessments are structured to breakdown the research project activity into two preliminary assessments that provide feedback that will enable students to build on the feedback and feed it forward into their final AT3 Brief communication paper. They will also have the opportunity to access peer feedback in small teams and get self-feedback when they self-assess the quality of their work against a detailed rubric. Post-assessment students will receive individual and group feedback.
