EGIM16 Communication Skills for Research EngineersCredits: 10 Session: 2017/18 Semester 1 (Sep-Jan Taught)Module Aims: Communication at a research level differs from that at the undergraduate level in that it is usuallydriven by an output or result rather than the requirement to show knowledge or understanding. The skill of a goodcommunicator at research level lies in efficiently and rigorously conveying the ideas behind the theory and proof ofthe research output. Verbal, written, visual and group communication will be explored through a series of lectures andformative exercises.Pre-requisite Modules:Co-requisite Modules:Incompatible Modules:Format: Lectures (10h), Exercises (20h), Reading / Private Study (30h), Preparation for Assessment (40h)Lecturer(s): Dr SA RollandAssessment: Assignment 1 (10%)

Assignment 2 (10%)Oral Examination (40%)Writing (40%)

Assessment Description:The first sit assessment will consist of 4 assignments.

The first component will feature a small number (one to three) of tasks which are aimed to evaluate the student'sunderstanding of the other ideas, beyond the written word and oral presentations, which are covered in the module.This will include the critical review of a written output. Other possible tasks include group meetings and the creationof a poster. The coursework may be done individually or in groups, this will be confirmed at the time of setting thework.

The second assessment component will be a short written piece, up to two pages long, which will test the studentsunderstanding of the concepts with respect to the written work and to allow feedback to the participants in the moduleprior to the final assessment. This is an individual piece of coursework.

The oral examination will involve the students presenting an example of the work they have undertaken in the past,typically a project, through an oral presentation. The target duration of the oral presentation will usually be between 8to 10 minutes. The exact duration will be specified in the assignment descriptor. This is an individual piece ofcoursework.

The final, fourth, component will require the student to write a paper or equivalent. This paper will be between six toeight pages in length and will be written to a format described in the assignment descriptor. This is an individual pieceof coursework.

The reassessment will consist of 2 assignments, details of which are provided in a later section.Moderation approach to main assessment: Universal non-blind double markingFailure Redemption: Candidates shall be given one opportunity to redeem a failure in the module during the summersupplementary period.

The reassessment will consist of up to two components that will be equivalent to the oral and second writtenassignment of the first sit. A pass mark will be required in both resit components in order for the module to be passed.A student will only be required to redeem any of the two components that were failed at the first attempt. The resitcomponents are individual pieces of coursework.Assessment Feedback: Blackboard will be used to provide individual feedback to the students on all the componentsthat contribute to the final mark. For the first assessment component a class feedback document is also generallyincluded on Blackboard.

As part of the practical sessions the students will receive verbal feedback on their performance. These sessions do notcontribute to the final mark.
