Research Dissertation (QSB 4914) (Semester 6)

The lecturer for this subject is Theong May Chuan. Total credit hours is 4. The assessment plan is divided into five components that are Research Proposal, Literature Review and Theoretical framework, Final Report, Second Review and TGC Portfolio. Each component except TGC Portfolio sums up assessment weightage to 100%.

For Research Proposal, it is a maximum 15 pages of document containing description, discussion and justification of the topic you intend to find out or propose to study and how you are going to carry out the study. For Literature Review and Theoretical Review, it is a document about an examination of literatures with the intention to find out about something, to understand a situation or to highlight problems or issues, to reassess the current state of the art or knowledge or to study or compare what have been done before. Theory or framework of the study will be established through reviews of relevant literatures. For Final Report, it is referred to a systematic piece of independent research work which consists of the background of the study, review of literature, both recording and analysing of data or the summary of published material on the topic supplemented by opinion gathered through various research tools and finally, a conclusion with recommendations, followed by bibliography and references. For Second Review, a second reader is appointed to offer comments and feedback for revisions that may be incorporated into the final version.

At the end of the semester, I am able to use a depth of subject knowledge and apply analytical and research skills in closely defined topic areas, collect data and information required and analyse data collected using appropriate techniques and tools, develop a comprehensive research conclusion and summary and adopt executive keyboarding to produce project documentation and presentations
