Planned timetable:
The aim of the project is to develop and foster the skills of research design, management, analysis, and communication. This module enables students to work on a scientific project as part of a larger group, doing individual work but learning how to work in a team. Structured team work includes giving and receiving quality peer feedback on individual pitch presentations. The team, of up to 15 students, will start working with a large and/or diverse dataset that allows individual students to tailor their own analyses of the data to report in Semester 1. In Semester 2, students will explore skills in science communication to allow them to propose a public outreach initiative, and/or use their design skills to generate a follow-on research proposal. Students will do a pitch presentation on these. Assessment is via a portfolio and the presentations of the data analysis and follow on outreach/research project designs. The module meets the learning outcomes for BPS accreditation but with analyses coming first and design skills demonstrated later. The module also contributes to the University Strategy of Entrepreneurial St Andrews.
