2. Interpret these data and analyses based on appropriate theories and concepts

Assessment

Students will be expected to move beyond the description and discussion of L1. Assessments will provide the opportunity for students to demonstrate that they can apply concepts and ideas in new situations and analyse novel case studies based on their existing knowledge. Assessments will be designed to encourage students to use interdisciplinary thinking and draw insights from a range of sources, disciplines, and modules to evaluate and critique received wisdom, and to formulate and defend their own intellectual positions.
