HR231 is an essential preparation module for the History Research Project (HR831). The module explains the purpose of the Research Project, and provides a sense of how historians develop research questions and proposals. In seminars you will be able to discuss and practise the skills you are learning and to benefit from peer discussion of ideas. The portfolio tasks will keep you engaged with the module and enable you to complete the final pieces of module coursework – the proposal for your own Research Project, and a short verbal 'pitch' (presentation) about your Project.
