In all degrees you will be expected to study independently, that is spend time in the library and on the internet reading around the subject you are studying. Rather than simply report what you have found you will be expected to analyse and defending your findings. You will be expected to participate in class and contribute to the group discussions, giving your ideas and thoughts.
