Assignment 3—Research project management plan

Students will be doing either an hypothetical research project or a thesis (depending on what course enrolled in). This assignment allows students to start thinking about the different elements needed in a research project and the order and time of completing the tasks. The emphasis is on a timeline and the different steps required in undertaking primary research. You need to describe in 1000 words your project plan and the steps contained in a research project focussing on your particular project that includes a rationale for each step.  You need to include a table or a GANTT chart to show the milestones and timeline for the project showing the research activities and when they will be undertaken.  This may be for a 12, 18 or 24 month time period, but would be dependent on your individual research project. This assignment is specific to your intended research project or your hypothetical research project and is about planning and the steps that will need to be undertaken in or to complete in timely manner.  it is not regarding a study plan to complete a degree. Please refer to Week 6 study plan and the rubric for further information on the steps involved in planning out a research project and completing it in a timely manner.
