This module introduces students to core skills required for academic study, professional thinking and lifelong learning.
This module aims to develop your critical thinking and academic and reflective writing skills. The module introduces the concept of personal responsibility for your own lifelong learning and its link to professional practice.
On successful completion of this module, the [learner] will be able to:
Demonstrate effective use of library resources
Demonstrate effective use of relevant and appropriate evidence in academic and reflective writing
Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of others work
Understand personal responsibilities for life-long study and its link to professional practice
This module is delivered one day a week throughout the autumn term. You will carry out mini tasks (e.g. library search, article appraisal, reflective statement) independently to embed the skills introduced in formal teaching.
Taking a developmental approach to the programme, this early module will provide opportunities for interactive learning supported by key lectures. Small group work and skills practice will form the basis of the exploratory learning nature of this module. The emphasis will be to commence your development of academic thinking and writing skills in readiness for future modules.
The above list is indicative of the essential reading for the course.
