MO5609   Directed Reading in Modern History 2

Academic year(s): 2015-2016

Key information

SCOTCAT credits : 40

ECTS credits : 20

Level : SCQF level 11

Semester: 2

Planned timetable: TBC

This module offers a directed reading project designed to encourage the development of skills of historical analysis through concentrated study of a topic chosen by the student. The project offers the student the opportunity to develop skills of research, analysis and presentation prior to the dissertation. As such, it will serve as a useful transition between the more structured teaching which characterises undergraduate work and the independence of postgraduate dissertations. The project will generally take the form of a bibliographical essay or primary research on a narrowly defined topic, but the guidelines are sufficiently flexible to accommodate new developments in learning and information dissemination.
