Content
This unit is completed in conjunction with HPS718 over trimester 1 (HPS718) and trimester 2 (HPS790). Students completing these units will undertake a research project in small groups, choosing a project from the range offered by available supervisors. They will be required to familiarise themselves with the theory and past research in the area under investigation, and to participate in all the steps involved in research, including the ethics application, formulation of hypotheses, design and methodological decision making, collection and analysis of data, and evaluation of the research questions under consideration. Although activities such as data collection may be conducted as a group, students will prepare an individually written report that will be based on the findings of their study.
