| Outcomes |
Students demonstrate the ability to generate a problem and/or research area from their own interests or professional work in education; demonstrate a reasonable mastery of that area; and show a capacity to critically review writing in that area, including their own, and write a coherent and cohesive academic paper. |
| Content |
This unit can be taken full-time over one semester or part-time over two semesters. The major paper (about 10,000 words) should provide evidence that the student can generate a problem and/or research area from his/her own interests or professional work in education; demonstrate mastery of that area; and show a capacity to review it critically. While students are encouraged to work closely with their chosen supervisor, there is no requirement to submit a written proposal through the Faculty of Education Research Committee. |
| Assessment |
The major paper is submitted for examination usually within the School.
Supplementary assessment is not available in this unit. |
