On-Campus A combination of lectures and workshops that incorporate case studies, small group activities and discussions to support each step in the students' research process. Online resources are also provided. Off-Campus E-learning, peer review exercises, on-line consultations to support each step in the students' research process. This unit actively engages students in the exploration of contemporary social health issues by allowing them to design and implement a social health research project of their choice. Students have the opportunity to explore their chosen issue, theoretically (literature review and methods development) and practically (by collecting data from their study participants). Students will be guided through self study and/or mentored in weekly workshops. The workshops will provide instruction on each step of the research process as they engaged with it and offer an opportunity for students to give and receive feedback from lecturer and peers. This unit seeks to create a collaborative and supportive research environment for students who wish to pursue their individual research goals.
