                 Learning Outcomes             At the end of the course, students are able to:
                                                (1) Integrate information from the relevant literature.
                                                (2) Analyze the information / data collected using statistical
                                                   techniques and appropriate software.
                                                (3) Assess  the  significance  and  implication  of  research
                                                   findings.
                 Synopsis of Course            This course aims to train students to conduct research on
                 Contents                      development  issues  and  policies,  and  to  write  a  quality
                                               research paper or policy report. Students are guided by at
                                               least  one  supervisor  from  the  conception  of  the  project
                                               through  to  the  preparation  of  the      paper  or  report.  The
                                               research  stage  encompasses  research  questions  and
                                               literature review (analysis, synthesis and critical evaluations
                                               of  empirical  and  theoretical  works),  data  collection,  data
                                               analysis  and  answering  the  research  questions,  and
                                               suitable conclusions.
                 Assessment                    The Research Paper is examined by the Supervisor(s) and
                                               an  appointed  Examiner.  The  marks  given  by  the
                                               Supervisor(s) and Examiner carry equal weight. Total mark
                                               is 100%.

                 Learning Outcomes             At the end of the course, students are able to:

                                               (1) Re-evaluate  the  development  theories  that  have  been
                                                   raised by expertise;
                                               (2) Analyze current development issues and problems;
                                               (3) Compare  the  development  experiences  of  other

                                                   problems.
                 Synopsis of Course            This  course  will  start  with  a  review  of  development
                 Contents                      concepts,  definitions  and  theories.  Following  this  is  an
                                               analysis   of   development    models,    processes    and
                                               mechanisms. There will be a review of the paradigm shifts
                                               in  the  field  of  development  studies.    Finally  there  is  a
                                               discussion  on  the  development  challenges  and  needs  for
                                               new  approaches  in  the  context  of  globalization  and
                                               changing  roles  of  the  government,  private  and  non-
                                               government agencies.
