Subject Description

The objective of this subject is to extend the student's ability to implement a major research project proposal, from any appropriate field of endeavour within natural resource management, to completion.

Students must prepare a written report encompassing both a summary of the project-specific literature on the project topic, and the results of the project, including methodology, success in relation to the stated objectives, significance of the project, and future directions and/or implications of the findings. Projects will need to have been approved by the Evaluation Panel in Project 1. The Panel may have suggested alterations to the project proposal, and these modifications will need to have been incorporated into the final project methodology prior to commencement. The project proposal report is expected to be of 2500 words minimum, of which 1000 words minimum will be allocated to a review of project-specific literature. Students must also present their project findings and implications in a formal seminar format to an audience of staff, peers, and industry personnel, and will be assessed on the basis of overall presentation, completeness and correctness of the scientific method and analysis, and the knowledge of the student on the topic area to be examined.

Assessment
