Description:
GER-Core module on research writing.
Textbook is needed and will be used in class.
It is helpful to attend lectures as there will be examples given on how to write specific sections of a social science report, as well as the do's and don'ts in report writing.
Tutorials include going through of whatever that has been taught in lectures using the textbook and other journal reports that will be given. Some tutorial lessons will be used for group presentations. Do attend and participate in tutorials as class participation marks take up quite a large portion of your grade.
Critique writing is very similar to that in HW0101, except that you are now required to critic on a journal article introduction.
Group project will require you to carry out a research related to your major. Literature review, surveys and analysis of results will be required. 2 presentations will be required, 1 will be to present on your proposal of the project to see how feasible it is and to get advice from classmates and TA, the other is to present your final results and to seek suggestions on improving on the report writing. There will also be a consultation period for report writing. 1 group from each tutorial class will be appointed to present their results during lecture, and class participation marks will be awarded for that group.
There is no mid-terms and final exam for this module.
