The aims of this module are threefold: Firstly, to enhance each student’s ability to determine, identify, gather and filter the most appropriate body of information (from amongst distractors) which may be relevant to the problem of interest. Secondly, to learn to recognise, find and select the most appropriate methods or procedures for implementation in solving different types of problem. Thirdly, students will increase their ability (and form the habit) to actively ‘stop and think’, and to choose from amongst multiple alternative solutions, and to identify similarities and differences between the immediate problem situation and those previously encountered.
