Handbook

REST0018 Research Project is a research-based course. Complementing the pre-requisite knowledge gained, this course introduces you to the fundamentals of research implementation, data analysis, and research report (thesis) writing so as to provide you with an integral view of the research process.

Students enrolled in the Research Project are expected to take significant responsibility for their own learning. They are expected to conduct their own searches of the literature to identify cutting edge thinking and examples of projects relevant to their own research and professional practice and obtain their own data (primary and secondary) to inform their investigation. Students need to demonstrate a comprehensive understanding on: (i) the key issues and challenges facing students in undertaking research; (ii) at least one type of research approach, design, method and an appropriate data collection strategy including quantitative and qualitative data analysis techniques; and (iii) the research results presentation and thesis writing.
