-The research question and/or objectives;
-The literature review including propositions and hypotheses;
-Research design
- type of research undertaken,
- measurement and scaling techniques (if appropriate),
- sample design (make sure you take into account the population of interest),
- data collection methods, and
- plan of data analysis;
-Results (using the most appropriate statistics or themes);
-Conclusions and Recommendations (with a focus on business strategies);

ASSESSMENT 4: REFLECTIVE JOURNAL
Objective of the Assessment
The objective of the reflective journal is record your ideas, personal thoughts and experience with the research process and how you interacted with other group members to enable you gain insights on the learning process and experiences with collaborative learning. You are expected to think more deeply, to challenge your old way of thinking with new knowledge and to reflect on how the unit of study may have changed you as a learner or individual.
This assessment consists of two parts:
- Weekly journal entries
- Reflective Journal
Instructions:
Weekly Journal entries
- Each week you should write up your experiences in working on the project and group effectiveness.
- Was it difficult implementing the research?
- What dilemmas did you face in terms of deciding on research techniques?
- What incidents went well or badly?
- How did the group go about tackling the project?
- Were there any problems within the group (meeting times, different opinions)?
- How did you feel? How did you handle various situations?
- Each journal entry should explore what you have learnt about research and any issues/problems that arise and how you plan to deal with them. It can also be used as a 'to do list'.
- Your type-written journal should have an entry for each week. Clear headings should identify the week. Each entry should be around 100 words. You can use expanded dot point for this section. In addition, include group evaluation form (Appendix 1).
Reflective Journal
- At the end of the semester provide an overview of 500 words which draws on your journal to highlight your experience with undertaking research and working in a team. The overview should elaborate on your personal learning and reflections for future project work (how would you do things next time?).
