The successful conduct of research requires advanced abilities in analysis and interpretation of data, critical thinking, and written and oral presentation. This subject, along with the skills developed in the subject "Research Preparation & Design", supports Health Sciences Honours students as they progress into their Honours program. A thorough coverage of mathematical and statistical (quantitative) procedures, as well as qualitative approaches, will be provided in order to support both the project design and data analysis.. Parametric and non-parametric statistical methods will be examined including t-tests, analysis of variance (ANOVA), correlation, and regression. Workshops will actively develop students' skills in a variety of communication formats including the writing of discipline-specific journal articles, short abstracts, and funding proposals. Students will also participate in regular presentation sessions including oral and poster presentations.
Read moreThis subject is designed to provide the framework and skills necessary for Honours students to successfully commence a research project in the Health Sciences. Students will work closely with the Honours convenor and individual project supervisors to develop their research topic, formulate their aims and hypotheses and consider the significance of the project. Workshops will enable students to search for and retrieve, interpret and begin to critically evaluate the relevant literature in their field. Research ethics processes will be discussed and debated, and students will be assisted to complete ethics applications where appropriate for their study. Students will also review various research design strategies and identify appropriate methods for conducting their project and analysing their expected data. Finally, students will be supported to prepare and present a detailed research proposal to the Faculty.

It will be assessed as a scientific document, including consideration of the thoroughness of the literature review, the rigour, and validity of the data generated, and the student's analysis, presentation, and interpretation of their results. Additionally, the general presentation and style of the report will be evaluated. This part of the assessment will be usually performed by examiners with relevant experience in the area of research undertaken by the student.
