Course description:

This course begins by examining the overarching logics and foundations that shape research processes. It then explores the core principles of research design before discussing particular methods of research that are frequently employed in the field of criminology and related disciplines. Students will be expected to complete a small research project based upon unobtrusive methods

Workload and deadlines for submission of coursework:           

The University of Auckland's expectation is that students spend 10 hours per week on a 15-point course, including time in class and personal study. Students should manage their academic workload and other commitments accordingly. Deadlines for coursework are set by course convenors and will be advertised in course material. You should submit your work on time. In extreme circumstances, such as illness, you may seek an extension but you may be required to provide supporting information before the assignment is due. Late assignments without a pre-approved extension may be penalised by loss of marks – check course information for details.
