Students carry out a major project. The projects may be experimental, computational or theoretical. Projects involve development of experimental, analytical and reporting skills. 6 hours laboratory per week
|
This module aims to extend your understanding of physics in the context of independent project work and thereby develop your physics-specific and transferable skills. This project, which may be experimental, computational or theoretical, will allow you to build on the skills base you have acquired during levels 1 and 2 of the course. By the end of the module you will demonstrate good comprehension, planning and execution of your project by applying previously learned skills and knowledge of physics or acquiring new expertise, as appropriate. You will learn how to manage an extensive research investigation and will acquire the ability to work independently demonstrating efficiency, effectiveness and diligence You will learn how to exercise considered discrimination in the pursuit of your specific research activities, both in searching for relevant contextual data and in the choice and presentation of results. Your work will be organised into a clearly argued and presented report of standardised format that makes effective use of relevant literature, theory and analysis and is written in a grammatically correct prose style with clear and appropriate illustrations.
