Summary
This is a research project module that will further enhance students' experience in carrying out a project on a topic that they have been assigned. Students will perform a research project which could be laboratory-based, qualitative or quantitative survey, literature critical appraisal, or data analysis. They will collect, analyse and interpret data, read and collate previous results relevant to their research and produce a clear and concise manuscript explaining what work was performed and a discussion of the results obtained. They will present their findings in a scientific poster format as one of the assessments.
