On this module, you’ll focus on developing key undergraduate academic skills through an independent research project. You’ll learn to:

• find, analyse and evaluate source material
• use evidence to form and support arguments in essays and presentations.

Your learning will be supported by the Canvas site, which offers additional resources on research skills. Engaging with these materials and attending seminars will help you build approaches expected at undergraduate level.

Module learning outcomes

• Engage in a small scale research project that focuses on the process of argumentation
• Identify the key arguments in subject specific sources to support the communication of your own arguments
• Identify your strengths and development needs through feedback on your ability to write reflectively, and on your engagement with the research process
