Directed Study in Exercise CXA403
Launceston
Introduction
This unit provides students with the opportunity to undertake detailed investigation of a topic of interest within their general field of study. The study may be performed as an individual or as part of a small group. The specific syllabus will be determined by the particular study area chosen. Approval for a particular study must be given by the unit coordinator and is dependent on an academic staff member being available and willing to supervise the proposed project.
Students will be required to undertake an extensive review of the literature and write a final report, or conduct a review of the literature and a research project or develop a business case. The topic or investigative project will be presented in a written paper form and in a final seminar presentation.
