This assessment is a group task requiring the completion of a research proposal for the capstone project. The proposal should explain the nature and scope of the planned research. The main sections should be covered in the proposal include project aim and objectives, a brief literature review, research gaps and questions, research approach/ methodology, research timetable, expected research outcomes, and a references list. The word limit is 1000 – 1500 words, including figures and tables but excluding the abstract, table of contents, and reference list.

The proposal must be clearly written in a well-structured way. Standard templet is required, and all essential parts must be included. If your proposed research methodology includes any human-involved activities, such as surveys, interviews, or similar approaches, you must obtain approval from your supervisor and unit coordinator before conducting any research. Points will be deducted for not following APA guidelines, for Turnitin similarity scores above 15% that indicate improper paraphrasing (such as copied sentences or sentences with just one word changed), and for the use of AI tools. Besides, failure to use academic writing will also cause point reduction. Checking the rubric carefully before staring your assessment.

This assessment is a group task requiring the completion of the first part of a research paper. The main sections should be covered in this assessment include a brief abstract, detailed introduction and research background, project aim and objectives, detailed literature review, research gaps and questions, detailed research methodology, and references list. Appropriate tables and figures can be added to support the content. The word limit is 3,000 words for the entire group, including figures and tables but excluding the abstract, table of contents, and reference list.

Standard templet is required, and all essential parts must be included. You should also check the specific requirements with your supervisor. If your research includes any human-involved activities, such as surveys, interviews, or similar approaches, you must obtain approval from your supervisor and unit coordinator regarding your survey/interview questions, data collection, analysis, and storage plan. Points will be taken for not following the APA guidelines, Turnitin similarity scores above 15% that clearly show text not properly paraphrased, such as sentences copied or with a word inserted to break up the sentence, and the use of AI. Besides, failure to use academic writing will also cause point reduction. Failure to clearly identify the research questions and research aims and objectives, failure to provide a comprehensive literature review, and omission of important parts will result in a point reduction. Checking the rubric carefully before staring your assessment.

This assessment is a group task requiring the completion of the second part of a research paper, which should follow the first part completed in Assessment 2. The whole research paper completed should include accomplishing the specific tasks set out for the project. The main sections should be covered in this assessment include a brief abstract, detailed research results, detailed findings and discussions, implementation and limitations, future work, and references list (if apply). Appropriate tables and figures can be added to support the content. The word limit is 3,000 words for the entire group, including figures and tables but excluding the abstract, table of contents, and reference list.

Besides, failure to use academic writing will also cause point reduction. Failure to clearly address all the research questions, failure to provide effective and detailed discussions in each section, and omission of important parts will result in point reduction. Checking the rubric carefully before staring your assessment.

This assessment is a group presentation based on the whole research paper, which should cover both Assessment 2 and 3. This final group presentation will be conducted either online or in person during the lecture in week 12. Presentation slides, which should be fewer than 20 pages including the cover page and reference list, are required to support the presentation and must be uploaded to the Moodle site before the lecture. In-text citations are not required on each slide, but a full reference list must be attached at the end. Each team member will present their portion related to Assessment 2 and 3. The group presentation will be 15 minutes including a 5-minute Q&A session.

Individual points will be deducted for not presenting as part of the group. Points will also be lost for directly reading from the research paper, lacking interaction and eye contact with the audience, placing full sentences and paragraphs on the slides, and exceeding the presentation time. Checking the rubric carefully before staring your assessment.
