Hurdle must pass, major project presentation

In this subject, students will plan and execute a substantial research-based piece of scholarship and will present the scholarly output orally and in a written report. At the conclusion of the subject, students will have developed their skills in critiquing relevant literature to plan relevant research questions, to execute the design of a research-based project to address an industry-specific issue, and to convey the project via oral and written communications. Each student will independently undertake a review of the relevant scientific literature, formulate a research question or questions, design an appropriate rigorous scientific method for investigating the question(s), and execute the piece of scholarship. The scholarly output will incorporate a critical review of the literature, and execution of the project will be based on the design of one of the following: a program or service evaluation study; a study based on experimental single case design; a systematic review or meta-analysis; a qualitative or quantitative study using primary or secondary data analyses, or a traditional empirical research project.
