| Description:
| Aims: To provide students with skills in undertaking a scientific investigation, analysing and interpreting findings and reporting the outcome. Learning Outcomes: After taking this course the student should be able to: * demonstrate the intellectual, time- and resource-management and technical requirements for productive, rigorous and responsible scientific investigation and reporting * write scientifically at the level of a primary research paper and/or review * demonstrate technical, time and resource management, analytical, interpretative and literature-accessing skills appropriate to the undertaking and presentation of their project Skills: Learning & studying (T/F/A), Written communication (T/F/A), Numeracy & computation (T/F/A), Data acquisition, handling & analysis (T/F/A), Laboratory or Fieldwork skills (T/F/A), Information technology (T/F/A), Problem solving (T/F/A), Information handling & retrieval (T/F/A), Interpersonal & teamwork skills (T/F/A), Working independently (T/F/A). Content: Selection and definition of a problem that can be investigated effectively within constraints of safety, time and resources; strategic planning; gathering, processing, analysis and interpretation of information; literature searching and reviewing; scientific writing and presentation Topics covered include, but are not limited to, global food security or plant genomics. Other topics can be agreed with the unit convenor. Likely to involve significant computational analysis. |
