Overview
This unit allows students to apply the practical skills and knowledge they have acquired in Semester 1 to design and execute a research project. Collaborating with others, students will follow the standardised methods of scientific enquiry to look for gaps in our current understanding of a subject area, propose appropriate experimental design, develop experimental methods to test their hypotheses, statistically analyse their findings and report these findings in a globally accepted format that could be considered for publication.
Students will develop their presentation skills (both oral and written), and their ability to work as part of a productive team to complete both practical and theoretical tasks.

Workload and teaching
- Teaching approachOnline learning
This is a self-directed practical based unit, with a high number of contact hours for hands-on research experience.
For on-campus students, this unit is conducted over ten weeks in Semester 2. It is expected that students plan, implement and present the findings of their research project under the guidance of their research supervisor.
For off-campus students working in an ART unit, an in-clinic research project will be conducted within this timeframe. For students employed by clinics unable to offer a research project, a simulated online project will be provided.
For full details of the teaching approach to this unit, please refer to Moodle.
