Assessment 2: Written Assignment

<p>This module aims to support the conception and planning of an independent research project, including locating and evaluating primary and secondary material, writing a proposal, creating and annotating a bibliography, defining an appropriate historiographical field, and writing a historiographical essay.  As such, the module will offer significant underpinning for third-year dissertations and projects.  You will have the opportunity to develop your own historical interests through a mix of workshops in term 1 designed to foster your research skills with a series of source-based themed seminars investigating staff specialist research areas. You will give a presentation taking the form of a progress report.  Throughout the module, you will gain oral and written feedback, enabling you to reflect upon and enhance your research and evaluation skills.</p>
