Learning aims – part 1
Interpersonal communication is at the heart of the social work profession, where academic theory, methods and knowledge intersects with front line practice and therefore the lives of the people we work with.
This
module provides an overview of the key skills, theories and methods required of
a professional social worker in order to engage flexibly and appropriately with
different people. It will build upon the first skills module in Year 1, to
collectively provide a toolkit for a professional, interpersonally skilled
practitioner. A central focus will be upon practicing the skills, as well as
learning the methodology and theoretical base behind them.

A warm welcome to the Law for Practice module! This period of study will aim to introduce you to key areas of law, used by social workers to enable them to protect vulnerable people and promote independence.
The aim of this module is not that you learn pieces of law from start to finish! This would be impossible, and not realistic for even a qualified social worker. However, it will aim to encourage awareness of some of the key areas of legislation, and to critically think about how we may apply this law in practice situations.
Not all slides will be released before each lesson as the slides contain the answers to a lot of the questions and discussions we will be having in lesson. Should you have a learning need and require them before hand please email me in advance of the lesson.

In the 20th century polymer science gave us materials with remarkable and durable properties to the great benefit of humanity. Plastics were fantastic. Now, a green polymer (r)evolution is urgently needed so that plastics will be the material that rebalances the needs and prosperity of humanity with the environmental and sustainable needs of our planet. This module will discuss how different types of plastics are made, what they are used for and why they are the current material of choice. It will discuss the environmental sustainability challenges that we face and how we can find an environmental sustainable way forward to live in harmony with a healthier planet.
Module aims
The overall module aim is to provide participants with the knowledge on what polymers are, how they are made, why they are used, and why they will play a key role in the challenge of this generation of humanity to provide for a greener and environmentally sustainable planet.

This module is part of the Alliance Intensive Study Programme (AISP) that has been developed by the University of Warwick and Monash University. The aim of the module is to pair Warwick and Monash students so as to conduct a research project in a collaborative fashion. Given the current difficulties in terms of international mobility, the module will focus on computational chemistry, a subject that naturally lends itself quite nicely to remote working. The research project will be supervised by either a Warwick or Monash academic with experience in the field.
More details about the AISP as well as this particular module can be found here.
This module provides a genre-based focus on academic scientific papers. Through a focus on models of professional writing, it explores particular features of science papers such as how to reference to the literature, where and when to outline the methodology, and how to present results and conclusions. An integral part of this approach is for participants to bring along samples of their own writing (e.g. lab reports or research articles). Students will be asked to provide critiques and action plans, as well as to engage in peer reviews.
- Target audience: Those who are to be considered as the ‘Departmental Representatives’ and other staff who are involved in the contractor engagement process.
- Pre-training requirement: Please complete H&S – Risk Assessment course first. Attending the Risk Assessment, COSHH Assessment and SSoW Workshop is recommended. More information from your Health and Safety Officer.
This module introduces some of the fundamental mathematical ideas that are used in the design and analysis of computer systems and software. The module makes you familiar with basic concepts and notation, helps you to develop a good understanding of mathematical proofs, and enables you to apply mathematics to solving computer science problems. The focus in CS130 is on discrete (i.e. not continuous) mathematics and probability.

Science for Medicine is a new project from the MBChB Cell and Tissue Biomedicine Team (CTB) and Academic Technology Team providing materials on fundamental science topics. This initiative aims to increase your confidence in learning science and ensure a smooth transition into your medical studies. Each lesson consists of a short video produced by a member of the CTB team, accompanying reading, and an interactive quiz. For each video you can turn on closed captions and download a transcript.
We anticipate that each lesson will take approximately one hour to complete. These materials are not compulsory; you have the flexibility to choose which topics to engage with based on your background and experience.
If you have any questions or would like to get in touch, please contact:

Happy learning!
The module provides a critical overview of some of the main currents and writers of poetry in English worldwide since the end of the Second World War. It covers a broad range of formal and linguistic approaches, a variety of poetics, and very different understandings of the relation of poetry in the period to belief, to society, to cultural dynamics, to the sense of self, and to thought. Evolving beyond the heyday of Modernism, poetry has used language from the plain to the intellectually dense, from high to demotic or dialect; it has found subject matter in religion and myth, in history and in the contemporary scene, in the nature of self and affect, in the natural and the manmade worlds, and in the paradoxes of the act of writing itself. Poetry has honoured its age-old debts to society but at the same time has insisted more radically than ever before on its autonomy. The module emphasizes that important poetry in English now originates from many places in the English-speaking world, not only in the traditional centres of the UK and the US.
This module, taught in translation, introduces students to the breadth and variety of ancient
thought – investigating the ways in which the ancient Greeks and Romans articulated their thinking
and their beliefs, about themselves and the worlds around them. This module surveys the cultural
and intellectual contours of the ancient Graeco-Roman world from the presocratics through to late
antiquity, and investigates not just the origins and development of philosophical thinking, but also
developments in scientific investigation. It offers an overview of the cultural and intellectual
horizons of major advances in intellectual self-examination, across politics, ethics, aesthetics, and
literary criticism, and Graeco-Roman value-systems, including in relation to gender, class, and
race. It does not simply survey familiar names and ideas in ancient philosophy (e.g. Plato and
Aristotle; Stoicism and Epicureanism) but also facilitates discussion of a variety of contributions to
ancient self-reflection across a much wider range of ancient sources.
As well as expanding awareness of the range of materials that classicists study, the module will
explore critically the range of methodologies and approaches used in the interpretation of this
material, and the assessment of its own conceptual self-consciousness, and allow students to test
out these skills in their own responses. For instance, what is it about presocratic thought that is so
innovative and distinctive, and how might it be understood in context, both in the development of
ancient attitudes to writing and to culture and religion? What range of materials might we use,
beyond Plato and Aristotle, to investigate the intellectual obsessions of Classical Athens? How
might Plato’s and Aristotle’s attitudes to ethics, politics, and poetics be more broadly situated?
How might the origins and developments of Roman thought be understood, and through what
range of sources? How, in particular, might a distinctive Roman philosophical poetics be
articulated, and what might that mean, with what consequences for ourselves as well as for our
understanding of ancient Rome? How might the origins and developments of ancient medicine be
understood, in context and beyond?
No previous knowledge is assumed, and this module is designed to inspire students, to broaden
their intellectual horizons, and to provide them with a basis on which to choose their honours
pathways after year 1. Each weekly 2-hr lecture will introduce a series of texts, themes and
approaches, and two seminars will investigate two case studies in greater depth (one Greek, one
Roman).
