Business research For this assessment, students are expected to write a weekly journal over the duration of the 12-week teaching period that documents a critical analysis of their learning process. In the journal students need to reflect/review how they have progressed with the learning goals related to assessments 1 and 2. Students need to write their individual reflective journal concurrently to performing assessment tasks 1 and 2, i.e. from the first week of the subject. For each week, students need to make journal entries that provide a reflection of their ‘journey’ of gaining, and applying knowledge of the research paradigm. For each week students should reflect and compare the theoretical knowledge with what they apply into practice. As assessment 1 and 2 are completed, students should clearly identify learning goals achieved Wk Topics scheduled Assessment Tutorial Activities Chapters 1 The nature, process and strategy of business research TBA in class Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 2 Research design and planning the research process TBA in class Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 3 Literature Review and Writhing Business Research TBA in class Chapter 5 and Chapter 29 4 Ethics and Legal Consideration in Business Research TBA in class Chapter 6 5 The Nature of qualitative research, sampling and participant observation TBA in class Chapter 17, Chapter 18 and Chapter 19 6 Interviewing, Focus Groups and Language in qualitative research Individual Assessment 1 TBA in class Chapter 20, Chapter 21 and Chapter 22 7 Qualitative Data Analysis TBA in class Chapter 23 and Chapter 24 8 The Nature and Sampling in Quantitative Research TBA in class Chapter 7 and Chapter 8 9 Structured Interviewing and Questionary Design TBA in class Chapter 9, Chapter 10 and Chapter 11 10 Structured Observation and Content Analysis TBA in class Chapter 12 and Chapter 13 11 Secondary Analysis and Quantitative Data Analysis TBA in class Chapter 13 and Chapter 14 12 Mixed methods research: combining quantitative and qualitative research Individual Assessment 2 TBA in class Chapter 27 When students writing Assignment 3 need to follow steps: Evaluate the effectiveness and your usefulness of the learning experience Make judgments that are clearly connected to observations you have made.
