Research Methods in Medical Education (MDSC0016)

Research Methods in Medical Education will provide you with a foundation in the knowledge and skills required to conduct research in the arena of medical education including qualitative and quantitative research methods.

After taking this module, you should be able to select appropriate qualitative and quantitative research methods to explore educational research questions.  You will be able to critically appraise educational research, including your own.

This module is assessed through a 3000 word coursework assignment carrying 100% of the final mark

Mathematics for Physics and Astronomy (MATH0043)

This is a course of advanced mathematical methods for students of Physics and Astronomy or other sciences who intend to proceed further with theoretical studies. It assumes a good understanding of basic mathematics and forms a natural precursor to the third year mathematics course. The emphasis is not on rigour, but on providing a good practical understanding of a selection of topics and the vital basics required for continuing theoretical work.

Digital Textual Analysis (Literary Lab) (LITC0016)

Digital Textual Studies allows to take a macroscopic view and employ “distant reading” (Moretti, 2000), assessing literary corpora of a scale that no researcher could read in their lifetime, as a complementary tool to the tried and tested “close reading” of individual works. Building on technologies from traditional corpus and computational linguistics, this module will introduce students to Digital Textual Studies, including technologies such as e.g. stylometry, authorship attribution, tracing of literary influences etc.

 

The aims of this module are to expand and complement students’ range of interpretative skills by digital methods for literary analysis, furnish them with the necessary foundations, and to spur their imagination about the intersection of literary studies and computational analysis. It will employ a ‘hands-on’ approach, which will involve (team-based) coding. No previous experience is needed, just openness and willingness to learn. Students will employ their skills and imagination to develop their own student-led digital projects, using literary texts from their background discipline(s).

 

After successfully following this module students will:

Have been engaged in research-based teaching and learning,
	Have acquired new skills and become acquainted with new tools approaches for textual analysis,
	Be able to conduct student-led small-scale digital projects on their own,
	Be able to theorise “the digital”.
