6 points * 78 hours project work * Full-year subject * Gippsland/Distance * Prerequisites: Completion of at least 3 course subjects
The essential feature of the research project is that it provides students with an opportunity to assume personal responsibility for the solution of a terotechnology problem. It therefore enables students to gain confidence in their ability to apply the techniques, skills and knowledge acquired in the structured coursework subjects, while still having academic staff available to provide guidance and constructive criticism. The research project can also provide an opportunity for students to tackle problems which lie outside their range of expertise (acquired to date) and in this context it both increases students' areas of expertise and gives them confidence that they can so broaden their expertise as the need arises.
Assessment
The student will be required to prepare a typed research report of around 10,000 words, and will be required to present a seminar on the research project.
