    LEARNING AND TEACHING METHODS
     
    In addition to the subject assessments, it is essential that progress be demonstrated throughout the project through regular verbal or written progress reports to the supervisors. The nature and frequency of these reports should be negotiated between the supervisor and student at the beginning of the project. A research project typically has several core milestones, as determined between you and your supervisor. These include:
    - Choosing a supervisor and identifying a project
    - Project proposal
    - Conducting a literature review of relevant prior work on the problem
    - Establishing a research question based on the literature review
    - Investigation and study design – which may include ethics application
    - Data collection and/or advanced algorithms
    - Analysis
    - Final write up of report
