This unit consists of an independent research project in the Humanities and Social Sciences, drawing on a student's Major and/or Minor discipline areas. Interactive workshops introduce students to skills and methods necessary for undertaking effective research projects, including identifying a research problem, proposing research aims and objectives, choosing an appropriate method, and engaging ethically with data and evidence. You will work with a unit coordinator and in collaboration with others to undertake a unique research project of your own. Demonstrating critical and analytical thinking, innovative problem solving, effective communication, persuasive argument, ethical practice, impact and influence, you are acquiring important skills for the future of work and research.
The learning experiences of this unit also provide a transition into important practices for university life, including writing, thinking, reading, viewing, research, and collaborative work.
Please Note: All students studying at Murdoch University will need to complete the compulsory unit, Murdoch Academic Passport (MAP100), which only takes 2-3 hours to complete online. Find out more: http://goto.murdoch.edu.au/MurdochAcademicPassport.
