Content Summary
This module offers a range of appropriate research methodologies relevant to the given topic. Students are supported further to refine their critical thinking and writing skills, and to carry out primary and secondary research from a range of sources as befits their choice of topic and outcomes.
Module content also includes evaluation of the processes of development and execution of research projects; and exemplars of successful research outcomes in a range of formats to accommodate individual learning styles, strengths and preferences.
