Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
| The three parts of this course have differing intended learning outcomes. The literature review is designed to make students develop a detailed, critical, up to date understanding of a specific area of environmental geosciences. This is also developed during the group project which involves students making a formal presentation about a specialised topic to an informed audience. The main learning outcome of the summer project is to enable students to exercise professional level autonomy and initiative whilst implementing independent sampling and/or analytical research plans to address a specific environmental question. Students are expected to offer professional level insights and identify the relevant outcomes of their project. |
