Description including Unit Aims

Students are assigned to groups of about 8 and they work together to produce a written report on an allocated topic. The report will include a group photograph, an abstract, a general introduction, a techincal report of the topic and a popular account of the subject. Reports are co-ordinated by an editor and a deputy editor using material assembled by the group. A progress report is produced half way through the unit. There is also a presentation for the Group Conference at the end of the unit.
