<p>This is the final unit in a three-part Honours Project unit chain. Within this unit, student groups will complete their 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 bring their research or practice-based project to a conclusion. Students will finalise the 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 present their project findings in a written thesis and present findings orally (for example at a student-led conference) and be required to respond to peer and examiner questions regarding project methods, conclusions and recommendations. Students will also be required to critically reflect on their performance (as individuals and a team) in undertaking the project and discuss their learning from engagement in the project as a whole.</p>
