| Brief description of the Unit |
This is the first part (Part A) in a two-part Honours Research unit chain. Within this unit chain students will work independently (with supervision) in completing a research project relevant to a contemporary speech pathology theory or practice issues on a health-related topic. In enacting their research project, students will be required to demonstrate a solid understanding of their research methodology as well as strong organisational and planning skills. In this unit, students will develop a research project with an appropriate methodology to examine an identified research question. They will integrate and communicate research design orally, in a manner accessible to and engaging for a target audience and respond effectively to colleagues and examiners' questions and critique regarding research design. |
