This module provides students with the opportunity to develop two critical and transferable skills in research presentation and critical writing.
The module is a combination of observation, independent learning and critical writing. Students will attend research seminars by leading academics in the broad field of Management Science and Innovation, critically reflect on both the content and delivery of the seminar presentations, and write a short critical review of these research seminars. The critical reviews will include both research topic, methodology and contribution of the paper as well as the speaker’s delivery and presentation. In addition, students will be provided with individual resources (books, key papers, etc.) on critical writing and presentation skills.
The 8 research seminars students are expected to attend and observe can be regular research seminars in the Department of Management Science and Innovation, or outside seminars such as those at UCL Economics, Psychology, London Business School, or LSE.
Extend critical reflection and writing skills by observing and evaluating the content and delivery of recent research seminars in Management Science and Innovation.
Demonstrate a good understanding of the content and methodology of recent research projects in Management Science and Innovation.
Communicate research, ideas and information effectively, in an appropriate format.
Access, analyse and evaluate information from a range of sources.
Generic and transferable skills in research presentation and critical writing.

At the end of the module, students are expected to integrate their observations and critical reflections in a coherent way, and submit a 3000-5000 words final report (100%).
