Subject coordinator: Alison Lee

This subject is designed to help students develop their dissertation plan. The elements of a dissertation and strategies for conducting it are clarified and analysed (e.g. choosing an area of investigation, conducting a literature review, critiquing existing studies, identifying a problem or issue to be investigated, adopting an appropriate methodology, the concept of a thesis, planning writing tasks, obtaining feedback from others, referencing, proofreading, data analysis and interpretation). Students are required to develop a proposal, and critique the proposals of some other students in the group.
