Students must discuss with their learning facilitator a potential project idea in module 1, week 1. By
the end of module 1, students will be required to submit to their learning facilitator a one page
outline of the project (non-graded) and a GANTT chart describing their project timeline.
The outline/summary will clearly identify the issue under investigation and justify its significance,
and
oadly explain how the project will be approached and its feasibility. The learning facilitator
must approve the project and evaluate it in terms of its feasibility, scope, workload implications,
ethics and rigour. You must not proceed on the project without the approval of the learning
facilitator. Failure to obtain approval of the project idea at an early stage may lead to delays in the
development of the project.
Students may select a topic related to their cu
ent public health practice/program/organization, or
may analyse publically available datasets (e.g. Google Explore) or publicly available online text
content as part of their research project.
