ITC536 Advanced Readings in Information Technology (16)
Abstract|
This subject allows students to locate, read, critique and synthesise appropriate literature on a research topic within the area of Information Technology closely related to the topic of research in which they wish to specialise for their dissertation. The subject requires students to become very familiar with the literature in their field of research, and to understand the major concepts, issues, problems, theories, and gaps within the field of research that will enable them to successfully complete a major draft of a literature review for a doctoral dissertation. It is expected that supervisors will advise students of key readings in the area. |
