Overview
This unit is the second and final stage of your final year research project which builds upon the successful completion of Research Project 1 (PPMP20019). In this unit, you will complete the investigative study you planned for in 'Research Project 1'. You will collect and analyse secondary or primary data and discuss the findings of your study. Then, you will draw conclusions and report the research findings via an industry-relevant academic report as well as an oral presentation. You will also be required to apply project management principles throughout the execution of your research project. The unit is designed to help you develop essential problem-solving and research skills for conducting independent research projects including the ethical issues involved.

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses
Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.
Feedback from Students' communications
Students expectations of the feedback
Clearer guidance should be provided to students regarding the type and timing of feedback they can expect from both the supervisor and the Unit Coordinator. This includes specifying the nature of issues to be addressed (e.g., academic, research-related, or administrative), how such issues should be reported, and the appropriate procedures for escalation.
Feedback from Supervisors
Some supervisors raised concerns about the data integrity
An interim assessment for reporting the data collection process is to be added.
