Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
| After completing this unit a student will have gained an in-depth advanced knowledge of a particular subject and will be able to critically evaluate the literature in the field |
Assessment Information
| A written report of not less than 5000 words and 200 hours of average student work. The written assignment may be thought of as a refined version of the initial research proposal. The student should provide background information to their proposed research as well as a broad literature review of the area of study. Potential emphasis should be given to the "empirical" focus of the PhD project. It should review the different kinds of empirical research that have been carried into the phenomena under study. This will include exploring the findings of the research as well as some of the methods of study. A good assignment will set out and structure developments in the area in an interesting and fresh way. It should particularly attempt to surface gaps in understanding of the phenomena being analysed. It may also explore how these characteristic modes of study impinge upon the framing of the research and on their findings. Content and structure of the reading assignment may vary from this with the supervisor's agreement. |
