In this course students will undertake an independent research project under the guidance of a supervisor.

Workshops will be scheduled at key stages throughout semester to support student learning and development of research
skills including oral presentation skills.

The major research project is a 6 unit course equivalent to approximately 20 hours of work per week.

This course is one where independent research is undertaken under the guidance of a supervisor, with whom the student meets regularly across the semester.

Supervisors and project areas will be available for students to consider via an online Major Research Project booklet available in the semester prior to that in which the linked Developing a Research Proposal course is offered.

The timing of research project activities is to be negotiated between the student and the supervisor in the first week of the course, dependent on their schedule and research-project requirements.

Students will record research activities in a research logbook and will meet regularly with their supervisor (usually fortnightly) to discuss the progress of their research and review activities and data management via their research logbook.

An initial meeting with the Course Coordinator will be scheduled at the commencement of the Semester to:

- confirm project topics based on the proposals previously developed by students in the linked course

- discuss preparation of the research project plan

- discuss assessment requirements

Workshops will be scheduled throughout semester on tpics such as oral scientific communication and presentation skills

Research project management plan (0%, due end Week 3): Students are required to complete a project plan on the Student Learning Agreement proforma confirming agreement on research topic, supervision arrangements and meeting times, and a project management plan including a project Gannt chart (this would normally be based on the research proposal developed in the linked course PUB HLTH 7003OL Developing a Research Proposal)

Research logbook (20%, due end Week 10): The logbook documents progress towards completion of the research project, including documenting activities undertaken, problems encountered and skills developed, in addition to reflection regarding the learning that is occurring.

Supervisor assessment (15%, Week 12): Supervisors will submit an assessment of the student’s management of their research project, and demonstration of research skills in the research context, including data management and maintenance of records, appropriate conduct including ethical considerations, and project-specific skills. This assessment will be submitted in Week 12 at the end of the research project.

Oral presentation (15%, Week 12): Students will present a 15 minute summary of their research projects including background, hypotheses, approach/methodology, results and conclusions.
 
Written project report (50%, due Week 13): Students will submit a report on their research projects including background, hypotheses, approach/methodology, results and conclusions (4000 word limit). This task will be due for submission at the end of the non-teaching week prior to examinations, in order to allow feedback from oral presentations to be incorporated.

All assessment tasks should be submitted via CANVAS. The project supervisor should email their report to the course coordinator.

All assessment pieces must be submitted by the specified time on the agreed due date.  You should retain a printed copy of the
assignment submitted. Feedback will be provided on the marked assessment pieces.

Extensions
All extensions for assignments must be requested, at the latest, by the last working day before the due date of submission. Extensions will generally be granted only on medical or genuine compassionate grounds. Supporting documentation must be
provided at the time a student requests an extension. Supporting documentation will be required when requesting an extension.
Examples of documents that are acceptable include: a medical certificate that specifies dates of incapacity, a police report (in the case of lost computers, car & household theft etc.), a letter from a Student Counsellor, Education and Welfare Officer (EWO) or Disability Liaison Officer that provides an assessmentof compassionate circumstances, or a letter from an independent external counsellor or appropriate professional able to verify the student’s situation.Without documentation, extensions will not be granted.

Late requests for extension will neither be accepted nor acknowledged.

Only the Course Co-ordinator(s) may grant extensions.

The length of any extension granted will take into account the period and severity of any incapacity or impact on the student. Extensions of more than 10 days will not be granted except in exceptional circumstances.

Late submission

Marks will be deducted when assignments for which no extension has been granted are handed in late. All assignments, including those handed in late, will be assessed on their merits.  In the case of late assignments where no extension has been granted, 5 percentage points of the total marks possible per day will be deducted. If an assignment that is 2 days late is awarded 65% on its merits, the mark will then be reduced by 10% (5% per day for 2 days) to 55%.  If that same assignment is 4 days late, the mark will be reduced by 20% (5% per day for 4 days) to 45%, and so on.

The School of Public Health reserves the right to refuse to accept an assignment that is more than 7 days late.

Assignments submitted after the due date may not be graded in time to be returned on the listed return dates.

Students submitting examinable written work who request (and receive) an extension that takes them beyond the examination period are advised that there is no guarantee that their grades will be processed in time to meet usual 最新糖心Vlog deadlines.

Resubmission

If a student is dissatisfied with an assessment grade they should follow the Student Grievance Resolution Process ( /student/grievance/process/). Students who are not satisfied with a particular assessment result should raise their concerns with Course Co-ordinator(s) in the first instance. This must be done within 10 business days of the date of notification of the result.

Resubmission of any assignment is subject to the agreement of the Course Coordinator and will only be permitted for the most compelling of reasons
