ITC714 Research Project Development in IT (16)

Abstract

This subject builds on the intensive and in-depth review of the research topic within the area of Information Technology that students commenced in ITC713. The subject requires students to become mastery over major research issues to be addressed when applying the research methodology for a research study. By the end of the subject students should be able to carry out the empirical work proposed in ITC713 and analyse, interpret and report findings in a scholarly written report ready for publication in a refereed journal or conference. The project started in ITC713 will be completed in this subject.
