Overview of how research is done and how to understand scholarly work including reading, understanding and applying studies from their field of research. The course involves an original and independent study of a selected priority problem under the guidance of a Research Director. The student individually, with close supervision by a research director, writes a report in line with the proposal approved under research methods. The report clearly brings out the link between the study topic, study problem, research questions, objectives, hypothesis, theoretical framework, conceptual framework, operational definitions observations and conclusion. The student carries out data collection, data analysis, compiles a report. The student defends the report before a panel of at least three people and the class who give comments on areas that need improvement. The student integrates comments/corrections during defense. Finally, the student submits a well-typewritten Research Report/Thesis to the department for a given Research Project. The report must be approved by the head of department and the dean in order to earn a grade for this course.
