PIO 499: Research Project (5 units C: PH 225) Learning Outcomes On completion of this course, students should be able to: 1. prepare the final write-up of the research project using the appropriate format within the stipulated time frame; and 2. present and defend the write-up of the research project. Course Contents Independent research findings into selected areas/topics of interest to be supervised by an academic staff. Students will be required to carry out literature survey on the topics, perform experiments and produce reports (preferably at the end of second semester). Students will be subjected to both seminar and oral examination on the projects undertaken.

Introduction to methods and techniques of research. Topics include basic terminology of research, qualitative and quantitative methods, basic research designs, and data analysis techniques. Other topics are problem development, literature review, data analysis techniques and interpretation, institutional review boards, and communicating results. Application of knowledge and skills acquired in research methods, statistics and evaluation in identifying and proffering solutions to problems, working independently under the guidance of a project supervisor. Students will undertake research projects on simple problems in areas of their interest and guided by their supervisors. In addition to experimental work, students will be required to learn how to search and compile literature review, collect, arrange and present bibliography. Planning and execution of a well-conceptualized research and presenting a written report on the study conducted.
