Course description

This course provides students with the opportunity to conduct their own research project. Through this course students will develop important research skills such as systematically reviewing the literature, safe laboratory and field work practices, proper record keeping, analysis and interpretation of results, and presentation of scientific ideas in writing. The purpose of this course is to allow students to develop a deeper understanding of a subject that interests them, and to provide students with research and project management experience that can be applied beyond this course. There is no lecture, practical, or tutorial offered in the course. Students will conduct research independently with the guidance of their supervisors. Supervisor availability is not guaranteed, as supervision of research projects is in demand. Students are advised to contact potential supervisors well in advance of the semester in which they plan to enrol. A research topic approval form must be submitted before enrolment can be completed. See https://sees.uq.edu.au/apply-research-project or contact School for details. See section 1.2 of ECP for information on how to choose the most suitable research course.
