Research Project A (Experimental)
Module code: BS3101
This module comprises the practical laboratory/field research aspect of your final year research project. You will undertake an individual research project within an active research laboratory or in the field. Under the guidance of a laboratory-based research scientist and in conjunction with appropriate background reading, you will learn relevant field and laboratory techniques to enable you to contribute to cutting-edge research. By attending lab meetings and discussing the progress and direction of the project, you will start to become increasingly independent with respect to your own research. If you are taking a field-based research project, there may be an opportunity to work with the university environment team and/or the local council. You will be assessed on your lab/field performance and by the production of the project infographic detailing the background and methods for your research project.
Skills gained during this module:
- Ability to test a hypothesis by appropriate experimental techniques
- Demonstration of skill in conducting experimental procedures, showing good laboratory/field practice.
- Ability to keep appropriate records in the form of a lab or field notebook
- Ability to communicate science using mostly images through the production of an infographic
