This is a single-semester module (15 credits) focusing on developing the research skills you will need to succeed at Level 6 and in the world of work. In the first part of the module, you will work in small groups to adopt and edit a Wikipedia page on a particular film; in the second part of the module you will work on a proposal for a possible dissertation/research project. The module involves elements of formal teaching, group-led and independent study, weekly reading and preparation, and peer review; and a range of assessments, including the editing of a Wikipedia page, group and individual presentations, and written assignments. It is strongly recommended that students planning to take either FLM601 Script Development and Research or FLM304 Film Studies Research Project at Level 6 take this module.
