CNS/D 622 Research Project (2018)

This module develops from CNS/D 513 Research Methods in providing the opportunity for students to progress from concepts and planning of scientific research including ethical and resourcing issues to the execution of a piece of novel research in the form of an individual project undertaken over the course of the year. Students are expected to produce an account of their project written in the style, format and discipline compatible with published work as found in a peer reviewed scientific journal. Working within an appropriate epistemology, students are welcome to research in areas that are practical or theoretical, experimental or literature based, qualitative or quantitative, objective or phenomenological. Students must seek ethical approval for their project if it involves human participants or human data before commencing their research.
