Dear RM Students,
The formal assessed presentation for research methods will take place on Friday the 4th of September from 10am sharp.
The presentation will be based on the revised Topic, aims and objectives stemmed from a brief literature review of minimum of three articles sourced from Journals or books focusing on the conceptual framework. Any press releases used will be considered supplementary data.
The conclusion should focus on the "deliverables" of your chosen research.
A brief proposal report (based on the presentation) has to be handed in the same day by no later than 5 pm. It is expected to have the i) Topic, ii) Aims and Objectives, iii) a Literature review section (no less than two A-4 pages) reviewing a minimum of three articles as specified above, iv) a Gantt Chart mapping the tentative timeline of the proposed research, v) Deliverables of the chosen research and vi) a Bibliography section with references in an alphabetical order.
Harvard Referencing style has to be followed for the slides as well as the report.
Avoid excessive bullet points, especially in the literature review section.
Note: The presentation and the report will form the basis for supervisory allocation, so it is mandatory to attend and participate on the stated dated: 04/09/2009
