6. awareness of opportunities to extend scope of current approaches
7. active leadership in the management and implementation of an investigative project.

Overview of Learning Activities

Students will undertake self directed or, by arrangement, group based investigative project work under the guidance of an academic supervisor. The project will extend on learning about research and investigative project methods and will implement the research strategies developed in the course MANU1062 (Research Investigation & Analysis).

Overview of Learning Resources

A detailed study guide is provided to assist learning and provide insights into key concepts.

Prescribed Text

There is no prescribed text.
