Course Programme

  • Avoiding plagiarism
  • Production requirements

 

Breakdown of set topics

  • Tutor introduction of topics, followed by tutor-supported group work on selected topics

 

During the final session students will have the opportunity to explore the set topics in depth, and learn how to structure and present their work to its best advantage. It is not necessary to have already started to writing the assignment, although it may be t beneficial to have already thought about the set topics and how to deal with each one.
