Overview
All successful research projects begin with a proposal. A research proposal outlines how a research project should be undertaken, taking into consideration conceptual, methodological, procedural and ethical issues. In this unit, you will develop a research proposal that concretely maps out your honours thesis project. This process confers skills of research project planning that are transferable to varied professional situations. You will be coached by your supervisors in a dialogic approach, with assistance from other academic experts as needed.
