Independent Project and Group Research 1

This capstone unit seeks to develop a student's capacity to design research, prepare for postgraduate research, work in groups and self-manage projects. With the help of a nominated supervisor, students will be guided through the processes of developing a research project with specific emphasis on appropriate research design, development of a research proposal and obtaining ethics approval. While students will work in groups on the research project, the research they choose will be expected to be at a post-graduate research level, and their ethics document will be submitted to the appropriate Victoria University ethics committee as required. Students will also design an individual project whereby they will develop reflective work practices, self-management and project management skills, to be completed as part of HBD4204.
