Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this module students should be able to:
Identify, analyse and summarise the scientific literature of a chosen field.
Plan and implement their project with a good understanding of the physics involved and of the background literature.
Identify resources to undertake a scientific project.
Present their findings in written and oral form in a way appropriate for a scientific audience.
Brief description
This module doubles as the final year physics project for BSc students and as an intermediate project for MPhys students. All students will undertake a project on which they will work in pairs under the guidance of their personal project supervisor and present their results in an individual oral presentation and a final project report. BSc students write individual reports on their final year project while MPhys students co-author their project reports. A number of intermediate milestones (literature search strategy, full literature review, project plan and preliminary results document) are designed to keep the project focussed and ensure a roughly equal workload distribution throughout the year.
