About this Unit
This unit is a companion to the year-long research project and thesis. It aims to equip students with a detailed appreciation of research possibilities and procedures and guides the development of their research projects. Only some students enrolling for this degree program have completed an honours year and for many this is their first experience of independent research. Assuming that students' well-known fear of research methods is an artefact of their being overwhelmed by their computational inadequacies, this is a non-statistical introduction to research design, which proceeds from the elementary to the sophisticated in one session.
