MANAGEMT 7133BOL - Research Project Part B

Online - Online Teaching 5 - 2022

The purpose of the final research project is to take the learning out of the classroom and into the workplace and/or wider world through a research project using supervisor-based learning and the knowledge acquired in the Research for Managers course. Students are able to work in teams (from two to three students) or one-on-one with supervisors. The research project will involve conducting research, carrying out analysis, preparing a report, and making a final presentation. The student/s would submit a proposal at the end of the Research for Managers for approval, and so that a supervisor can be assigned.

  • Learning Resources
    Required Resources
    As a course centred on students’ individual research projects, less emphasis is placed on a large amount of weekly coursework or assigned readings. Recommended and optional additional readings are provided in some weeks, while other weeks’ content is focussed entirely on student project-work. Refer to each module within MyUni, and the Course Readings tab, for any recommended and optional readings for each week.
    Online Learning
    The course is delivered over a 6 week period.

    Planning of your time will be critical to immerse in the readings, activities, and discussions which provide the breadth and depth of knowledge to support your learning and completion of your assessments.

  • Student Feedback

    The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

    SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

  • Policies & Guidelines
  • Fraud Awareness

    Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student’s disciplinary procedures.

The University of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The University of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
