Research Design and Writing in International, Political and Strategic Studies (ASIA9075)
This is a Higher Degree by Research training course in research design and writing in the social sciences. It is designed as an introduction to the HDR programs in the Coral Bell School of Asia Pacific Affairs, ANU College of Asia and the Pacific, and is required for all HDR students across the school. It is held in the autumn session of each year, to allow students newly enrolling at the beginning of the year to participate. Students enrolling in 2nd semester will take the course in the autumn session of the following year. The Department of Political and Social Change convenes the course, but presenters in each of the classes come from across the constituent units of the Bell School.
Through the course, students will be introduced to the practical requirements of the School's HDR programs; acquire the basic skills and understanding necessary for designing and undertaking a research project in international, political and strategic studies, and communicating one's plans in oral and written form; develop cognitive and communicative skills and independent thinking to be able to critique and debate research theories and ideas, and be introduced to a range of disciplinary approaches in international, political and strategic studies.

The ANU uses Turnitin to enhance student citation and referencing techniques, and to assess assignment submissions as a component of the University's approach to managing Academic Integrity. While the use of Turnitin is not mandatory, the ANU highly recommends Turnitin is used by both teaching staff and students. For additional information regarding Turnitin please visit the ANU Online website.
