Module Content

Outline Syllabus:Series of lectures: formulating a hypothesis, appropriate methodology and research methods, organisation and management, writing styles and presentation, references and appendices; Subject specific tutorials; Writing up and data analysis workshops.
Additional Information:The module requires students to undertake a sustained piece of academic analysis and present this in a proper academic form. This allows students to achieve a thorough understanding of theoretical and methodological issues relevant to their chosen subject of study. Students must be able to demonstrate they have the ability to carry out a sustained piece of research on an appropriate topic and it may be the case that proposals are turned down. Students must discuss their work in progress via a presentation early in the 1st Semester. Students must follow the 'style notes' and produce work using proper academic form. Ethics approval must be granted if required.
