Unit description
Unit content
This is the second unit of a pair of units (FORS6002, and this unit FORS6003), in which students work on a forestry management issue or research topic. Students select a suitable project, which they complete under the one-on-one supervision of an academic supervisor. In this second unit, students undertake the project as described in the project proposal submitted in the first unit. They present the results of their project in a formal report submitted at the end of the session. These two units prepare students for the transition into professional life.
The Minor Thesis units require students to work on an individual topic of their choosing, under the individual supervision of one academic. There is, therefore, no syllabus. The specific content of the student’s work will be discussed with the supervisor, and will be defined in the project proposal submitted as part of the assessment in FORS6002.
Learning outcomes
Unit Learning Outcomes express learning achievement in terms of what a student should know, understand and be able to do on completion of a unit. These outcomes are aligned with the graduate attributes. The unit learning outcomes and graduate attributes are also the basis of evaluating prior learning.

Prescribed Learning Resources
- No prescribed texts.
Each project will have its own specialist requirements regarding required equipment, protective clothing and tools. Students will be guided by their project supervisors regarding such requirements. In some cases, students will be provided equipment, protective clothing and tools as required, whereas in other cases, students may need to provide their own equipment, protective clothing and tools. This will be discussed between individual students and their project supervisor. In all cases, students must adhere to any rules and regulations regarding compulsory protective clothing and other workplace health and safety requirements. Students ignoring workplace health and safety clothing and equipment requirements in laboratories, the field and other prescribed places will face disciplinary proceedings. All students working in laboratories or in the field will be required to complete the relevant induction, risk assessment and other obligatory processes. These will prescribe obligatory equipment, protective clothing and tools.
There are no prescribed online resources for this unit, since each project is individually supervised and will have different online requirements. Students will be guided towards appropriate online resources by their project supervisor. All students should, however, explore the relevant range of online resources, especially from the perspective of their discipline regarding both substantive content and methodological approaches.
