Dissertation on Humanities Education and Integrated Research Methods (CPAS0108)

In the first term of this module you will follow an online research methods course through which you will learn how to conceptualize and write a coherent research proposal, formulating relevant research questions on a topic of your choice within your chosen subject specialism, on the basis of relevant literature and/or observations of practice, and design systematic data collection and analysis strategies in order to help you answer your questions. In term two and three you will implement your research proposal, gathering and analysing data and presenting your conclusions systematically. The dissertation will enhance your ability to read research in your chosen field, to devise investigative strategies and to develop new knowledge in your field and to communicate this through scholarly writing and argument.

You will be assessed on the basis of a portfolio comprised of a proposal, evidence of having peer-reviewed a proposal, an ethics approval application and a dissertation. The portfolio will be assessed holistically. Students will write a 2,000-word proposal + 17,000-word dissertation.

This module is compulsory and needs to be taken by all students completing the MSc in Oral Medicine.

Outline:

This modules aims to; discuss the magnetic properties of materials; establish Maxwell's equations of electromagnetism, and use them to derive electromagnetic wave equations; understand the propagation of electromagnetic waves in vacuo, in dielectrics and in conductors; explain energy flow (Poynting's theorem), momentum and radiation pressure, the optical phenomena of reflection, refraction and polarization, discussing applications in communications; use the retarded vector potential to understand the radiation from an oscillating dipole; understand how electric and magnetic fields behave under relativistic transformations.

Aims:

This course aims to:

Discuss the magnetic properties of materials
	Build on the contents of the second year course; Electricity and Magnetism PHAS0021, to establish Maxwell's equations of electromagnetism, and use them to derive electromagnetic wave equations
	Understand the propagation of electromagnetic waves in vacuo, in dielectrics and in conductors
	Explain energy flow (Poynting's theorem), momentum and radiation pressure, the optical phenomena of reflection, refraction and polarization, discussing applications in communications
	Use the retarded vector potential to understand the radiation from an oscillating dipole
	Understand how electric and magnetic fields behave under relativistic transformations
Teaching and Learning Methodology:

This course is delivered via weekly lectures supplemented by a series of workshops and additional discussion.

In addition to timetabled lecture and supplementary hours, it is expected that students engage in self-study in order to master the material. This can take the form, for example, of practicing example questions and further reading in textbooks and online.
