Assessment
Additional details
The Research Report itself is examined. This makes up 100% of the assessment for the subject.
The Economics Research Report involves a two-semester program of study, (commencing in Semester 1 and completed in one calendar year). The Research Report is unsupervised but each student will be allocated an adviser to whom they can address questions. Students will be required to conduct and present the results of an independent piece of economic research. In Semester 1 students will be required to submit a formal proposal in Week 3 and present an oral progress report during Weeks 7 and 8. During Semester 2, a written progress report is to be submitted in Week 1; a seminar presentation is to be made mid-semester and a draft of the Research Report is to be submitted in Week 8.
Three bound copies of the written Research Report must be submitted to the Departmental Office by 4 pm, Friday in Week 12. It is not to exceed 12,000 words. An electronic copy of the completed Research Report is also required to be submitted at the same time. If the Research Report involves empirical work a computer disk with a copy of all data used and any relevant workfiles containing transformed data etc will also be required to be submitted at the same time.
Note: This assessment statement applies to the entire enrolment across Parts 1 and 2 of the subject (i.e. ECON90071 and ECON90072 together).
