| Brief description of the Unit |
This is the second course in a two-part Honours Professional Project course chain. In this course, students will work in small, self-directed groups towards completion of a project on an health-related topic, relevant to a contemporary speech pathologists' practice issue. Students will be required to demonstrate skills in leadership, planning and teamworking in order to effectively plan and undertake various project activities. Students will analyse and summarise their project findings in order to extract conceptually robust conclusions and derive meaningful and practically relevant recommendations, including strategies for implementation. Students will present their project findings in both written and oral formats and be required to respond to examiner and audience questions regarding project design, conclusions and recommendations. Students will also be required to critically reflect on their performance (as individuals and a team) in undertaking the project and discuss their learning from engagement in the project as a whole |
