SUMMATIVE ASSIGNMENT – RESEARCH PROPOSAL (4,000 WORDS).
The assignment for this unit has been designed to give all students the opportunity to prepare a document demonstrating their ability to produce a coherent, theoretically based argument justifying research within a specific field. The development of such documentation is not only one of the essential skills of the postgraduate student; it is a key requisite for policy planning and project work. The format for this assignment whilst individual to this institution provides a baseline that can be used to help develop protocols in the future.
Remember this assignment is basically a statement of intent; it should present a clear picture of what is planned and why the project is worthwhile. Although not all issues will be studied and researched in the same way there are some features that need to be in them all, and the following guidelines have been devised to help in the preparation of the assignment.
