<p>This is the second unit in a three-part Honours Project unit chain. Within this unit, students work in a small, self-directed group towards completion of a research or practice-based project relevant to a contemporary occupational therapy practice issue. Students will be required to demonstrate skills in leadership, planning and teamwork in order to effectively plan and undertake various project activities. Students will commence analysis and summary of their project findings in order to extract conceptually robust conclusions and derive meaningful and practically relevant recommendations, including strategies for implementation. Students will begin the process of preparing a thesis on their practice-based project or research. Students will present their project findings orally and be required to respond to peer questions regarding project design, conclusions and recommendations. Students will also be required to critically reflect on their performance (as individuals and a team) in undertaking the project.</p>
