This is an in-person course. Contact your course convener or supervisor to see if your project can be undertaken remotely.
This module is designed to connect postgraduate coursework students, on an individual basis, to active researchers at the ANU. The student will be expected to participate in a substantial project at a postgraduate level. The project can be in any area related to photonics on a topic of current research interest under the supervision of an ANU academic. Students are advised to contact the Academic Contact for information on available projects.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:
- Plan, manage and execute a substantial project
- Engage in an independent and sustained critical investigation and evaluation of a chosen research topic
- Systematically identify relevant theoretical concepts and models, and relate these to appropriate methodologies and evidence
- Keep accurate and detailed records of work undertaken, including literature review, lab work or computational work
- Work constructively with active researchers on real research problems
- Critically evaluate their own work and results, as well as results reported in the literature
- Communicate both in writing and orally the significance of the project in the context of the literature, the problem which the project solves, the research concepts, results and the implications of what has been learned in conducting the project
Indicative Assessment
- Logbook or project portfolio (10) [LO 1,2,3,4,5,6,7]
- Formal written report (80) [LO 1,2,3,4,5,6,7]
- Oral presentation (10) [LO 1,2,3,4,5,6,7]
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.
Workload
The expected workload will consist of approximately 130 hours per 6 units of enrolment throughout the semester including:
- Face-to face component which will consist of weekly meetings with the project supervisor.
- Approximately 20 hours (12 unit course) to 30 hours (18 unit course) per week of total student learning time made up of independent student research, reading and writing. Students are expected to maintain regular contact with their supervisor and attend all supervisory meetings.
