Develops students' capacity to design and conduct a scientific research project, understand the research framework, and present research findings. This unit is the first of six Science Honours Thesis units that students progress through while working on their thesis research project.
Unit content
Content will depend on the individual honours project.
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.
| On completion of this unit, students should be able to: |
|---|
| 1 | critically evaluate and appropriately apply scientific research techniques and methodologies to derive original research data |
| 2 | critically evaluate and interpret research data with respect to relevant scientific and management knowledge, theories and issues |
| 3 | present research findings in forms that are appropriate in academic settings and for the general public |

Prescribed Learning Resources
Prescribed Texts
- Individual students will be guided towards prescribed texts by their project supervisor since each project is individually supervised, and each topic will require specific texts: Similarly, students will be guided towards reading by their project supervisor., All students should, however, read widely in their discipline regarding both substantive content and methodological approaches.
