Why is this unit important and how does this unit fit into your programme of study
The aim for Conducting and Writing Up Analyses is to provide students with all the information they need to write up a research study in child health. To do this, students will learn the background theory and high-level practice of both qualitative and quantitative research methods. This should give them the overview to analyse and write up their projects with statistician workshop sessions. However, if more specialised applied knowledge is required for their individual projects this will delivered by their Research project (please see Child Health Research Project) supervisors.
Learning Outcomes
Teaching will be provided in small group and tutorials. In addition to seminar/workshop teaching we will use peer led topic sharing/teaching which will improve students’ ability to teach/train as well as learn. We will provide reading lists and expect students to prepare for seminars, (similar to case based learning) prior to attending seminars.
Based on the principles of programme level assessment, this unit will be co-assessed with Child Health Research Project.

When assessment does not go to plan
As this is a final year unit, reassessment is not normally permitted. However, in light of self-certification of absences or certified exceptional circumstances, the Exam Board may award a further attempt at failed or missed assessment. The reassessment will normally be in the same format as the original assessment. See the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes for further details.
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. BRMS30011).
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 University Workload statement relating to this unit for more information.
Assessment
The assessment methods listed in this unit specification are designed to enable students to demonstrate the named learning outcomes (LOs). Where a disability prevents a student from undertaking a specific method of assessment, schools will make reasonable adjustments to support a student to demonstrate the LO by an alternative method or with additional resources.
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. For appropriate assessments, if you have self-certificated your absence, you will normally be required to complete it the next time it runs (for assessments at the end of TB1 and TB2 this is usually in the next re-assessment period).
The Board of Examiners will take into account any exceptional circumstances and operates
within the Regulations and Code of Practice for Taught Programmes.
