Course description

This #4 unit advanced research course builds on content covered in SWSP3303 Research in Social Work and Human Services (Research Preparation course - Year 3).There is a strong emphasis on the application of research methods to complete a small scale independent research project across the two semesters. Students will complete an individual project and produce a 6,000-8,000 word research report over Semester 1 and Semester 2 in Year 4. The research project involves the design, implementation, analysis and interpretation of data and an oral and written presentation of the project. The approach taken is blended learning with a combination of workshops, simulated learning and peer and group supervision to support students to gain the necessary knowledge and skills to complete the project.
