Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
The purpose of the mini-project is to ascertain that students:
- have a thorough knowledge of the relevant literature, can make a critical appraisal of the key material in it and can place their own proposed project in its context;
- can accurately report the work already done and its significance
|
Assessment Information
Each student will conduct a 10 week project. Students will produce a report at the end of the mini-project for assessment in the form of a scientific paper (no more than 5,000 words) to provide practice in accurate and concise writing. The mini-project report should be prepared to a high standard. Students will also be asked to include in this report a brief critique, spelling out the strengths and weaknesses of the project design or experimental approach.
