Supervised Individual Study (Environment, Energy and Resilience) is offered as part of the MRes in Environment, Energy and Resilience, an interdisciplinary programme in the Faculty of Social Sciences and Law offered through the Law School. The unit is specifically designed for students enrolled on the MRes in Environment, Energy and Resilience and can only be taken by students enrolled on this programme.
The unit aims to ensure that students deepen their understanding of the field and its research methods within the specific area of their expected research and/or broaden their understanding of the field and its research in other areas of the subject through an individualised programme of study.
Supervised Individual Study will normally be conducted independently with regular, negotiated, supervisory contact. The programme is delivered innovatively and flexibly, which is of particular value to part-time students. It can involve a mix of one-to-one or group workshops (with the prospective supervisor and student) and seminar participation in parts or all of particular units from an approved list, varied according to the needs of the individual and with formal learning outcomes.
2000 word essay assessment
The assessment will assess all the Intended Learning Outcomes for this unit.
If this unit has a Resource List, you will normally find a link to it in the Blackboard area for the unit. Sometimes there will be a separate link for each weekly topic.
If you are unable to access a list through Blackboard, you can also find it via the Resource Lists homepage. Search for the list by the unit name or code (e.g. LAWDM0122).
How much time the unit requires
Each credit equates to 10 hours of total student input. For example a 20 credit unit will take you 200 hours
of study to complete. Your total learning time is made up of contact time, directed learning tasks,
independent learning and assessment activity.
See the Faculty workload statement relating to this unit for more information.
Assessment
The Board of Examiners will consider all cases where students have failed or not completed the assessments required for credit.
The Board considers each student's outcomes across all the units which contribute to each year's programme of study. If you have self-certificated your absence from an
assessment, you will normally be required to complete it the next time it runs (this is usually in the next assessment period).
The Board of Examiners will take into account any extenuating circumstances and operates
within the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes.
