Students will be required to keep a structured diary in which they note reflections on their progress to understanding research practice. The assessment of the course will involve a reflective portfolio that demonstrates what the student understood about research at various points through the programme and how they developed the skills required for successful scientific research. Students will be guided as to the format of the final submission.
The course is student-driven following initial guidance from a tutor who will also provide support and advice throughout the process.
