Aims
a) Working as part of a team, deepen theoretical knowledge and understanding within a chosen specialist area of the field of adaptation and sustainability in the environment (chosen from one of the preceding modules) and its interrelationship with other associated areas of the field through its application within a teamwork-based applied project.
b) Develop and undertake substantial investigations within the chosen specialist area of the field to address significant areas of associated theory or practice, and critically assess the effectiveness of the methods used. Investigations may take the form of a case study scenario exercise; design, fabrication, experimentation and testing exercise; or other devised for the purposes of the module.
c) Undertake analysis of complex evidence generated through the Applied Project, and develop critical responses to existing theoretical discourses, research methods or practices within the chosen specialist area of the field.
d) Communicate and work effectively within a team undertaking the Applied Project to implement and evaluate innovative or sectoral best practice within the chosen specialist area of the field.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Develop critical responses and originality when applying theoretical knowledge, and a systematic understanding of a chosen specialist area of the field of adaptation and sustainability in the environment to a teamwork-based applied project.
2.
Demonstrate critical awareness of the complex nature of the interrelationship between the chosen specialist area of the field (referring to precursor module specifications) and other associated areas of the field through carrying out substantial investigations within the chosen specialist area
3.
Critically evaluate data and complex theoretical discourses, methods or practices and evidence generated through the Applied Project, and use this to evaluate innovative or sectoral best practice within the chosen specialist area of the field.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:The specialist area of the field chosen for the module will be the primary driver of its content (refer to associated pre-cursor module specifications). Investigations undertaken within the teamwork based Applied Project. The module will enable students to apply the various insights, knowledge and theoretical perspectives encountered to a particular applied project, all within the context of sustainability and adaptation planning in the area of food and natural resources, ecology or behavioural change.
Additional Information:Barred combinations: Cannot be taken with the module 'Work-Based Project'.
This module can be taken onsite or at distance.
