2 Subject details
2.1 Subject description
This subject covers research designs that are non-experimental or quasi-experimental in nature. These include
methods that are often more appropriate for research in field settings where experiments are neither practical
nor sensible. The different types of validity and the benefits and limitations of weighing one type of validity
against another will be considered. In addition, some of the most popular and powerful multivariate statistical
techniques will also be introduced in lectures and practicals. The statistical material will cover multiple and
logistic regression, factor analysis, discriminant analysis and multi dimensional scaling analysis. The emphasis will
be on the conceptual understanding and use of these techniques rather than mathematical arguments and
proofs. Practicals will focus on everyday applications of the knowledge you gain from your study of research
design.
2.2 Subject learning outcomes

Students who successfully complete this subject will be able to:
• view research in applied settings in a practical and logical manner

• apply the methods of scientific research to answer questions and solve problems in field settings
• recognise the strengths and limitations of these methodologies
• interpret and critically evaluate the results of applied research
• focus on the conceptual understanding of the statistical techniques presented and their application to
different research settings
• produce a research proposal paying particular attention to the design and analysis components of the
proposed study.
These outcomes will contribute to your overall achievement of course learning outcomes. Your course learning
outcomes can be located in the entry for your course in the electronic JCU Course and Subject Handbook 2020
(click on ‘Course Information’ bar/ select ‘Undergraduate Courses’ or ‘Postgraduate Courses’/ select relevant
course/ scroll down to ‘Academic Requirements for Course Completion’, ‘Course learning outcomes’).
2.3 Learning and teaching in this subject

There are two types of classes scheduled for this subject: (a) one two-hour lecture, and (b) one two-hour
practical. This subject has been designed to facilitate an understanding and interpretation of research design
issues, nonparametric techniques, and the application of multivariate techniques. The lectures for this subject will
focus on the theoretical aspects of design and analysis and provide you with examples of the topics under
discussion. Consolidation of the material will occur in the tutorials. In the practicals the associate lecturer will
endeavour to provide one-on-one assistance throughout the subject. Working with your peers is encouraged so
as discussion of issues can lead to appropriate research solutions.
LearnJCU will contain the PowerPoint slides for each of the topics covered in the lectures. The weekly practicals,
along with the respective data sets are also on the LearnJCU site. As a core subject for entry into fourth year, this
subject will be invaluable in helping you design and analyse your fourth-year research projects.
2.4 Student feedback on subject and teaching

As part of our commitment at JCU to improving the quality of our courses and teaching, we regularly seek
feedback on your learning experiences. Student feedback informs evaluation of subject and teaching strengths
Page 5 of 17
and areas that may need refinement or change. YourJCU Subject and Teaching Surveys provide a formal and
confidential method for you to provide feedback about your subjects and the staff members teaching within
them. These surveys are available to all students through LearnJCU. You will receive an email invitation when the
survey opens. We value your feedback and ask that you provide constructive feedback about your learning
experiences for each of your subjects, in accordance with responsibilities outlined in the Student Code of
Conduct. Refrain from providing personal feedback on topics that do not affect your learning experiences.
Malicious comments about staff are deemed unacceptable by the University.
In response to previous student feedback and other data, the following enhancements to this subject have been
made:
• More guidance (in the form of FAQ documents) will be provided for A1 and A2.
2.5 Subject resources and special requirements

All subject readings and resources, including journal articles, book chapters, websites, videos, print and
eTextbooks, are available to view online from your Readings list via your LearnJCU subject site. Textbooks are
listed in your Readings list, including links to library holdings. The JCU Library has limited print copies of
prescribed textbooks for two-day loan, and options for viewing available eTextbooks online.
Additionally, you can find the most appropriate library subject resources, including dedicated discipline-specific
Library Guides, relevant databases and access to library services and staff through the Your Library tool, in your
LearnJCU subject site.

3 Assessment details
3.1 Requirements for successful completion of subject
In order to pass this subject, you must:
• Submit and complete ALL assessment items;

• Achieve an overall percentage of 50% or more.
Assessment items and final grades will be reviewed through moderation processes (Learning, Teaching and
Assessment Policy, 5.13-5.18). It is important to be aware that assessment “is always subject to final ratification
following the examination period and that no single result represents a final grade in a subject” (Learning,
Teaching and Assessment Policy, 5.22.).
Grades will be awarded for all coursework subjects as per the JCU Student Results Policy.
3.1.1 Inherent requirements
Inherent requirements are the fundamental abilities, attributes, skills and behaviours needed to achieve the
learning outcomes of a course while preserving the academic integrity of the university’s learning, assessment
and accreditation processes. Students and prospective students must be able to demonstrate that they have
acquired or have the ability to acquire the inherent requirements for their degree.
Reasonable adjustments may be made to assist students manage additional circumstances impacting on their
studies provided these do not change the academic integrity of a degree. Reasonable adjustments do not alter
the need to be able to demonstrate the inherent requirements of the course. Students who believe they will
experience challenges completing their degree or course because of their disability, health condition or other
reason should discuss their concerns with an AccessAbility Services team member or a member of College staff,
such as the Course Coordinator. In the case where it is determined that inherent requirements cannot be met
with reasonable adjustments, the University staff can provide guidance regarding other study options.
3.2 Feedback on student learning

Students will receive formative feedback on their written work as part of Assessment Task 1 (the Questionnaire
Design and Analysis) and Assessment Task 2 (the Research Proposal). With regards to the Mid-Semester
examination (Assessment Task 3) students will have an opportunity to view their examination scripts while the
lecturer goes through the expected responses. This process will ensure students have an opportunity to learn
over the course of the subject.

ASSESSMENT TASK 1: DESCRIPTION
One of the most common research approaches is to simply ask your subjects questions related to your research
hypothesis; in other words, to use a questionnaire. One of the major difficulties with questionnaire research is
that the quality of the data is directly related to the reliability and validity of the actual questions asked. Slight
changes in wording can have a dramatic impact on the results obtained. The purpose of this assessment is to give
you experience of constructing a questionnaire and for you to present, the reliability and validity issues you need
to consider when constructing the questionnaire. The research topic that the questionnaire will be focussed on
will be discussed in your lectures and tutorials. Students work in small groups to design a short questionnaire
(potentially online) of no more than 20 items, administer it to each other, and analyse it for internal consistency
and test-retest reliability. You are then asked to submit the questionnaire and a short assignment (circa 1000
words) outlining (1) some background literature, (2) the rationale for the questions, (3) how you have ensured the
questionnaire has validity and (4) whether the questionnaire has reliability.
ASSESSMENT TASK 1: CRITERIA

with regard to the field of knowledge, and taking into consideration the level of the subject.
D - 75%+ Substantial work of high quality. Sophisticated understanding, but without the spark of originality,
synthesizing powers or insight of the HD grade.
C - 65%+ Sound, competent work, demonstrating a reasonable grasp of knowledge in the area, taking into
account subject and level.
P - 50%+ Adequate engagement with the field at a general level to justify proceeding to further coursework
study in the area.
N - < 50% Work which fails to demonstrate a satisfactory grasp of the field either through poor research,
incoherence or lack of literacy.

4 Submission and return of assessment
4.1 Submission of assessment
The Questionnaire Design and Analysis and the Research Proposal are to be submitted as an electronic version
through SafeAssignment in LearnJCU by midnight on the due dates.
You are required to agree to the Student Declaration presented on-screen in SafeAssign prior to uploading your
document. Please ensure that you upload either a .doc or .docx to SafeAssignment to avoid issues with
formatting. You should always retain a copy of all assignments submitted. It is NOT acceptable to submit
assessment items via email.
4.1.1 Late submissions
Note that the Learning, Teaching and Assessment Policy (5.22.3) outlines a uniform formula of penalties that will
be imposed for submission of an assessment task after the due date. This formula is 5% of the total possible
marks for the assessment item per day including part-days, weekends and public holidays. After 20 days, the
assessment item thus would be awarded 0 marks (i.e. 5% x 20 = 100% of total possible marks in penalties).
4.1.2 Extensions
Extensions for assessment tasks will only be granted where a serious and unforeseeable event has prevented you
from completing the assessment. This applies to all on-course assessment items, including the delivery of
presentations during scheduled class time. Students are required to follow the College process for requesting an
on-course assessment extension, notification of inability to attend an on-course exam or presentation,
notification of missed compulsory class, or notification of late assessment submission.
4.2 Return of assessment

An assessment’s return date, time and manner will be determined by the Subject Coordinator in line with the JCU
Learning, Teaching and Assessment Policy. Feedback will be given, and students can discuss their assessment with
the marker if further feedback is needed. Students will be informed of their grade for every component of
assessment in the subject within 21 days from the due date of the assessment item (JCU Learning Teaching and
Assessment Policy 8.7.2).
4.2.1 Review of assessment
Requests for review of assessment need to follow the JCU Review of Assessment and Access to Examination
Scripts and Materials Procedure.
Please see the Current Students webpage for links to all student resources and support services to optimise your
academic and personal success.
Please see the Notification of Extenuating Circumstances webpage – this has a self-declaration form which can
been submitted if you are experiencing a negative impact on your studies, and it is in place of a medical
certificate. It can be used if you have missed compulsory classes, need an extension on assessment, need to defer
an examination, withdraw from a subject without financial/academic penalty, or apply for other Special
Consideration.
Please see the Learning Online website for information to support you while learning in a virtual environment.
Please see the Learn Student Guide webpage for general advice on plagiarism, referencing and examinations.
Here, you can also access individual and group assessment task cover sheets. Note that cover sheets are only
required for hard copy submissions.
