HRS434 Science Honours Research Completion (8)

In this subject, students will complete their planned Honours research. Students will be guided by their supervisor(s) to develop their knowledge, skills, and confidence as a researcher, particularly in relation to data analysis and interpretation.  Through regular communication with their supervisor(s), students will have opportunities to reflect on their collected data, analyses, and interpretations. This subject is an alternative to HRS431, which is identical to this subject except that students are allocated more time to engage in research activities in that subject; in HRS434, less research activity is required to be indicated in the student's progress reports.

No offerings have been identified for this subject in 2020.

Where differences exist between the Handbook and the SAL, the SAL should be taken as containing the correct subject offering details.
