Staff-Student Symposium; Critical appraisal of the public presentation of psychology

This presentation about a CILASS module in the department of Psychology was very interesting. George Thomas (undergraduate) Emily Jones (postgraduate associate tutor) and Myles Jones (staff) presented their experiences of learning and teaching on this module. Students were asked to identify a media report that was based on an original psychological report, and comment on the contrast between the popular media approach to the report and the original research. They were aided in this by postgraduate associate tutors who also offered advice on using online academic research tools.

 George, Emily and Miles all spoke about what they liked about the module. The discussion that followed was based mainly around how best to utilise and introduce online search tools in IBL
