Trefnydd: Dr Tracey Lloyd

This module will develop and exercise the core skills required to communicate effectively within science generally, and within psychology specifically. The aim of this module is to develop students' scientific communication skills and to encourage them to feel confident in their ability to disseminate ideas effectively using a variety of mediums and within a psychological community.

Students will develop a range of transferable communication skills on this module. The module will include the following components:

• Dissemination of Information (DoI): Students will hear a series of research lectures and will communicate the content of these in writing

• Writing for Science (WfS): Students will take part in workshops to develop their science writing across a range of skills.

A typical curriculum will include workshops and lectures on: APA writing style, writing succinctly, writing clearly, APA referencing and citations and critical thinking skills.
