The student will have demonstrated a capacity to carry out a substantial piece of work.
Affective (Attitudes and Values)
It is expected that each student will develop their personal capacity for listening for and to problems, questioning the status-quo, seeking and developing new knowledge, and relating to people in the interests of scientific examination of facts, in furth
Psychomotor (Physical Skills)
The student will be required to demonstrate capacity to write a final report, and to produce a poster to project the methods and results of the work, and to verbally defend the work reported.
How the Module will be Taught and what will be the Learning Experiences of the Students:
