Directed Reading module (CP51014)
Learn how to undertake research in a field which is of particular interest to you and relevant to your chosen programme
Directed Reading is an academic approach where students independently study selected texts under the guidance of a tutor or supervisor.
This method allows for in-depth exploration of specific topics, tailored to the student's interests and academic goals. The tutor provides a reading list and may set assignments or discussion points to deepen understanding.
Directed Reading encourages critical thinking, self-discipline, and the ability to engage with complex material. It is often used to supplement formal coursework, enabling students to develop specialised knowledge and research skills in their chosen field.
