Such knowledge is crucial for those students undertaking qualitative research projects.
The learning objective are (1) to help students understand the threshold concepts necessary to produce high quality research (2) to develop the skills and capabilities in the planning and execution of a qualitative research and (3) to develop the reflective ability to understand and critique the notion of good research.

While students are free to publish anything related to their studies they are expected to reflect on the ‘rules of the game’ for good research in their academic discipline. This should be biased upon the published academic papers read, what students learn as part of this course, and reflecting on research practice. The key question is ‘what is good research’?
Purpose of Assignment
