| Syllabus |
- Gentle introduction to the issues and requirements of the more demanding fourth-year project.
- Experience of reading published papers and identifying their essential content.
- Exercise of reporting on modest pieces of scientific work: students have to explain what they did, and why, and what conclusions they reached, and why, and they have to do this clearly and convincingly.
- Experience of writing programs to investigate specific questions: students must write well-structured, well-documented programs because they too are acts of scientific communication.
