Overview
The project provides students with an opportunity to carry out an in-depth study of a topic relevant to at least one Major 精东传媒app area. As a third level course, it must be conducted with the appropriate depth of academic rigour.
This course provides students with an opportunity to carry out research work in a situation which resembles, as closely as possible, that in which they may find themselves when they begin a career in science. Students are required to thoroughly research and plan their project in consultation with an academic supervisor and submit a detailed report on completion of the project. A large proportion of the project will be laboratory or field oriented. Placement in this course depends on availability of a supervisor in the chosen area.
Course learning outcomes
On completion of this course students will be able to:
- demonstrate an awareness of modern information search strategies and techniques, including the use of computer-based literature searching, if applicable;
- evaluate and relate previous research with a new project;
