Overview

This is the first of three project courses that involve producing a written thesis or draft manuscript. This project course is based on students completing an individual piece of work that contributes to the current body of knowledge or research in the chosen area. In this first course, students are expected to decide on a project or research topic, obtain ethics approval and begin data collection (if applicable). It is also expected that writing goals will be set in collaboration with the student's supervisor and Honours Program Coordinator.

This course will enable students to further develop evidence-based skills via a research project whereby students will gain experience with research design, collecting and analysing data, and the synthesising of results. Alternatively, students will commence an organisational project in a discipline specific area. Some students studying this course in the online mode, will need to negotiate project goals and assessment and may have to meet attendance requirements.

Course learning outcomes

On completion of this course, students will be able to:

  1. Identify a suitable workplace project including specific project structures and goals.
  2. Formulate a research question/s and/or hypotheses based on a provided topic (in consultation with an approved supervisor).
  3. Develop and apply advanced academic and research skills including literature retrieval, critical writing, professional referencing and oral presentation techniques.
  4. In consultation with a supervisor, critically select an appropriate methodology to address a specific research question and/or hypotheses.
  5. Select and/or develop any materials necessary for the conduct of the research project.
  6. Identify ethical issues inherent in the chosen project and be able to address any such issues in a manner consistent with ethical and professional guidelines.
