Description
The Independent Study Module (ISM) gives the opportunity to focus studies on an area or theme that is of particular interest to the student and s/he may want to explore in greater depth than is possible in a taught programme. It allows the student to produce an extended piece of work in which his/her ability can be demonstrated and prepare him/her for a dissertation. Tutorial support is provided. The topic must be connected with the degree programme, and using the research skills the student is expected need to produce independent and perhaps creative academic work, with some guidance. Guidance will consist of consultations to choose a topic, bibliography, literature survey, and outline for the project. The extended essay should be about 4,500 words long. Students will be expected to demonstrate module-specific skills as well as discipline specific skills including ability to identify, collect, evaluate, interpret and present heritage material; describe and assess, and develop and sustain argument based on relevant scholarship; make use of appropriate methods of analysis drawn from the relevant disciplines; handle conceptual and empirical issues, with some guidance. In addition students will have to demonstrate ability to transform information into a coherent account, respond to different viewpoints and communicate this clearly in writing.
