Fuzz's question about essays...

Hi Fuzz,

There is not that much essay writing on the course as most of the work is based aroung PBL though we do have 4-week projects called Special Study Modules. In the SSMs you are given a list of topics from which you select your top 7 and you are asked to write 3000 words on the topic you are allocated. You have one of these in first year and two in second and third year, to pass each year you must pass the SSMs you have done.

Personally, writing essays has never been my favourite thing but the SSMs provide a nice change from PBL and it gives you a chance to do something you're interested in.
