Learning Outcomes
(1) Communication skills
The course requires students to submit written work for assessment, to a deadline and within a word limit and thereby encourages them to develop the technique of writing in a clear and concise fashion. The course also provides the opportunity for students to extend their oral skills by requiring them to take a full part in the discussion of the seminar; this may involve students in making presentations to the class.
(2) Intellectual Skills
The course encourages students to develop the intellectual skills of collecting, organising and evaluating evidence. The course requires students to develop their skills in presenting evidence in a balanced way and in analysing the weak and strong points of arguments and to synthesise these in the process of solving problems.
(3) General Skills
The requirements of the course encourage students to develop skills in managing time, working independently and taking responsibility for their own work.
