This unit comprises a one-semester environmental or geographic research project. The aim of the unit is to provide students with research experience in an area of their own choosing. Project design, data collection, data management and data presentation skills will be developed. The unit will involve an average of 6 hours per week planning and completing an individual research project, closely supervised by a staff member of the School of Geography and Environmental Studies. Students do not need to have well developed ideas before beginning discussions. Students can undertake this unit in either semester, but it must completed within that semester. Students must speak to the course coordinator and have had a supervisor confirmed before they enrol.
