EMG708 Research Proposal and Presentation (16)

Issues and questions which arise from the student's professional practice provide the basis of the
research thesis. From these an extended research proposal is developed by the candidate and defended by presentation to Faculty and peers (via Skype or a similar program if necessary). Candidates must address ethical issues associated with the conduct of their research within their research proposal. In both the proposal and oral presentation candidates are expected to draw upon their previous literature review and research methods writing. This subject provides students with experience in writing for different audiences and purposes, for example their draft literature review must be reduced and crafted to fit the requirements of a research proposal.
