Problem solving | Group exercises and discussions will form a part of many of the lecture sessions, and will be heavily oriented toward problem-solving in hypothetical scenarios. | ||
Research skills | The coursework research essay will require students to engage in serious research, use the resources of the library and internet, organize their papers and present their work in a professional way. | ||
Communication | The group work during lecture sessions, as well as individual participation in discussions, will be an occasion for polishing of oral communications skills. The research paper and the exam will both involve written communication. | ||
Improving own Learning and Performance | This goal is not directly addressed in the module, though the required coursework may well have an impact in this area. | ||
Team work | In-class group exercises will require teamwork in the sense of agreeing upon divisions of labour for group projects and mutual consultation. | ||
Information Technology | Students will need to utilize appropriate information technology in the course of their research projects. | ||
Application of Number | Analysis of power relations in buildings (Part one) will require some rudimentary arithmetical work (to measure `hierarchical depth¿ and `surveillance efficiency¿ of buildings). Otherwise numerical proficiency is not required. | ||
Personal Development and Career planning | This goal is not directly addressed in the course. | ||
Subject Specific Skills | Techniques for analysing buildings will equip students with one previously unfamiliar method of analysis that depends upon more than just conceptual facility (see 7. above) |
