Overview
This is the second of two project courses involving the production of a written thesis or professional document based on an individual piece of research that contributes to the currently available body of research in the chosen area. In this second course, students will continue working on their research project and submit their final thesis or professional document.
This course will enable students to extend their evidence-based skills through the completion of a research project and preparation of a thesis, professional document or manuscript for potential publication. The project will include completing data analysis, synthesising of results and the preparation of documentation and a presentation to communicate findings to other professionals. Some students taking this course in the online mode, depending on their negotiated studies/assessment, may have attendance requirements.
