Critical Thinking and Writing for Global Health

EAL7801 - runs in Sem A, 2hrs a week

EAL7802 - runs in Sem B, 2hrs a week 

These modules help students to deliver what is expected from them in their Global Health masters' programmes. After consultation with the programme leaders, the academic skills needed to succeed in the Global Health MSc  have been itemised and will be presented in three main strands, namely ‘study skills’, ‘reading and demonstrating knowledge’, and ‘critical thinking and writing’. Students will be given the tools to manage their time efficiently and plan their work accordingly. They will be guided through the process of understanding and successfully delivering Essay assignments, in the light of the implications of their immediate context. Students will be encouraged and expected to reflect upon their own practice, and will be provided with formative feedback to ensure the learning outcomes are achieved.
