This subject continues from the previous year Minor Thesis 1 by progressing with work on the research being undertaken to finalise data collection and statistical analysis and completion of the research project.
Students complete the writing up of the thesis and submit it for examination by mid-September to allow time for corrections and graduation in December.
On-going assessment of the research protocol, methods and data generated during this period will be undertaken at least monthly during meetings with the supervisor/s.
Thesis examination is undertaken by two external examiners nominated by the supervisor/s. The examination process is overseen by the Chair of Examiners who will determine the final percentage mark for the thesis, based on the marks from the external examiners.
Intended learning outcomes
After completing this subject, students will be able to:
- Successfully manage all phases of a research project.
- Demonstrate critical thinking skills by analysing results into a discussion leading to constructive research conclusions.
- Write up a substantial research project in thesis format.
- Demonstrate formal research presentation skills.
- Engage in considered academic dialogue about the research project to incorporate feedback from the supervisor and thesis examiners.
