And, following on from my last post, the course has ten learning outcomes listed in the Studay and Assessment Guide. One of these is:
‘Work with others to carry out the stages of drafting research proposals, data collection, analysis and interpretation.’
Students are told:
‘You cannot pass this course unless you submit a project proposal to the ethics panel’.
This is also mentioned in the Senior Tutor Notes (2006)
‘students will fail the course if they don’t jointly submit the prpject proposal form.’
