| Summary | In preparation to undertake any new research project, it is wise to prepare one's ground. The most obvious preparation is to ask: what is already known about this area or topic? Less obvious preparations include consideration of the material resources that will be consumed in the course of the research, the cost of these resources and the time available to carry out the proposed research. |
| Course description |
From around the start of the second semester, the class will initiate the process of carrying out the research work that will ultimately lead to the MSc Research Dissertation. Students will work with previous research to do a presentation and this will lead to beginning to work on the material they will examine during the research dissertation.
