The Final Report presents the results of your independent research project. Your research project <\/span>must be based on an<\/strong> <\/span>industry-relevant research question<\/strong>, and should be presented in a professional format appropriate to the media industry sector under investigation. The research question should be clearly identified (on the title page and\/or at the start of the report), and the industry sector should also be clearly evident.<\/p>\n

In addition to research conducted specifically for the project, the report should draw on your prior learning (e.g. concepts or issues previously studied) and your knowledge of your chosen industry sector. It should synthesise all of these elements to engage in depth with your research question.<\/p>\n

The research question should be developed in consultation with the Course Coordinator.<\/p>\n

Research project design, including identification and use of industry sources, will be discussed in more detail in workshops. Feedback and questions from the Week 6 presentations may also be helpful in informing elements of the project (including the research question). The marking rubric is included below. Report writing and structure will also be discussed in workshops.<\/p>\n

Remember that <\/span>this is a desktop research project<\/strong>: in addition to scholarly sources, your project findings should be based on industry-relevant primary sources available in the public domain. Appropriately referenced case studies can also be used to illustrate issues discussed in the report. All sources should be referenced using <\/span><\/strong>University of Adelaide Harvard referencing style<\/strong><\/span>. As this is a desktop research project, please note that you are NOT permitted to undertake activities such as interviews or surveys – these types of human research need prior approval by the University’s Human Research Ethics Committee, and this approval is not possible within the time constraints of the course.<\/p>\n
