Course description
This course provides skills in research design for students undertaking Honours in Humanities or related disciplines. The course is taught as a combination of common weeks and discipline streams, where students choose the discipline (ancient history, history, philosophy, or religious studies) most relevant to their thesis research. The common weeks include seminars on situating the thesis, Indigenous knowledges, and a `3MT¿ (Three-Minute Thesis) conference. Assessment includes two research projects and seminar participation. Students also have access to a range of online modules on research skills.
