| Subject Overview: | The subject allows you to conduct an original research project, under supervision to be approved by a subject Coordinator. The work will be equivalent to lecture and practical based subjects worth 50 points. The content and extent of the project will be determined by a Coordinator, in collaboration with you and the supervisor. The work would ordinarily include a review of a body of scientific literature, together with a critical evaluation of research or experimental protocols, and the development of research methods, implementation of a mathematical model, completion of an original experiment, or a thorough exploration of a scientific issue. Projects would ordinarily include a component of original research well beyond a review or critique. Projects may involve regular 1-hour discussion groups where students report on progress, major problems and plans. For substantive reasons, this research project requires more than one semester to complete. |
|---|---|
| Assessment: | A written report, in the form of a scientific paper, based on the student’s original work, to be assessed by at least two people of the supervisors choice. A subject worth 50 points should result in a report of about 10000 words and no more than 12000. Other parts of the assessment may include a spoken presentation, a research proposal, time schedule, attendance at seminars and workshops. |
