A critical review of work in a wide choice of selected topics, presented as a maximum 5000 word essay.
Our overall aim is to give students the opportunity to exhibit and extend their skills in researching and reporting on a specific area of biology. In achieving the aims, students must show that they can work independently, developing their own chains of thought. Students will show that they can use a scientific library, consulting the appropriate text books and the most recent, original research articles revealed through the use of Web of Science etc, and abstracting journals. The finished library project should reflect the students' ability to produce a report intelligible to the non-specialist, scientifically informed reader, and organised in a style similar to that in many scientific review journals.
A maximum 5000 word essay (100%).
