Aims
To enable students to develop a range of academic, research and transferable skills related to their programme of study.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Use simple numerical and mathematical skills in relation to laboratory procedures and basic chemical and biological calculations. Interpret written instructions, perform routine laboratory tasks and analyse both given data and practical results.
2.
Identify and reflect upon the following aspects of personal development:
strengths and weaknesses, motivations and values, ability to work with others
3.
Perform independent research and present the results using appropriate
techniques, such as graphing, mapping, tables, text and oral presentation methods.
4.
Recognise scientific approaches and how to apply them in order to solve
problems.
