| Aims: To provide an opportunity for students to see examples of conservation practice. Learning Outcomes: To provide a body of experience which will enable students to make decisions about which of the methods taught in the other units to apply in particular situations. Skills: To analyse, inspect, describe and make reports that are intelligible to specialist and non-specialist readers, on sites, historic building fabric and artefacts, illustrated by graphics such as sketches and photographs.
