Research School of Accounting · ANU College of Business and Economics
This course introduces students to the planning, design and conduct of research in business-related disciplines. Students gain an understanding of how scientific research is undertaken and are introduced to different research approaches. By the end of the course, students should be able to critically evaluate research (their own and that of others) regardless of the research approach. The overall aim is to enable students to develop the skills needed to design and undertake research that is ethical, meaningful, rigorous and relevant.
Typical assessment may include, but is not restricted to, class participation, assignment(s) and research proposal as appropriate to assess the learning outcomes of the course.
