PROJECT REPORT - RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Goal: Is to develop student‘s Research Skills, self learning and ability to analyse

Objective:
On completion of this subject, the student will:
 Demonstrate an understanding of a range of research approaches
 Be aware of the research questions and problems that characterize the sector, which is the
focus of their pathway
 Be able to identify an area of personal interest relevant to their pathway and develop a
means to pursue this interest
 Be able to recognize the features of a good research proposal, for example, be able to
construct a hypothesis and design an appropriate means of testing it
 Be able to apply an appropriate research methodology or technique to a specific research
problem

The syllabus commences with an examination of the generation of research ideas.


Philosophical, methodological and pragmatic issues are examined in the process of
converting these "raw" ideas into a practical reality. The three main phases of the
research/enquiry process, namely the design, conduct and report are covered in turn.

Strategies and specific techniques are examined, questionnaire design for example, at an
appropriate point in the syllabus as the focus of attention moves from general concerns to
singular detail. Application of both the general themes and the specific techniques to the
individuals dissertation is extended and reinforced by the tutorial support.

The subject is covered through 20 hours of lectures, 6 hours seminars, 6 hours consultancy,
200 hours unsupervised learning

Learning outcomes:
The principal outcome of this subject is a fully developed undergraduate project.

Methodology:
 The subject will commence with the writing of a proposal which will consist of the
project title, its aims and objectives, an outline structure with the selected methodology, a
proposed plan of work and its relationship to previous work, together with the principal
references.
 To facilitate this, students will be exposed, via a combination of formal lectures and
tutorial support, to a variety of project suggestions and a range of methods for carrying
them out.

Assessment:
Evidence – Students will develop a project proposal and present this in an acceptable,
professional manner. They will defend their proposal in a formal presentation. This proposal
B.Sc. Catering Sci. & Hospitality Mgmt. (SDE) 2014-15 onwards Page 39 of 39

will be further developed into a report, which will lead to the production of an undergraduate
project in the chosen topic.

Criteria – The proposal will be current and relevant. The problem will be clearly stated. The
proposal will be imaginative but not over-ambitious. Source materials will be comprehensive
and appropriate. References will conform to relevant specifications and be recent and
accurate. Choices of methodology etc will be critically justified.
The proposal will be clear, logical and rigorous. Formal presentations will be well structured
and convincing. Progress/problems will be effectively communicated to, and resolved with,
the supervisor. The project itself will be evaluated on approach, use of literature,
methodology, findings, implications and referencing.

Weightage:
 The project Report: 70%
 The proposal: 20%
 The presentation: 10%
