4.            THE INDIVIDUAL NATURE OF A PROJECT

 

The award of a Master’s degree indicates that you have completed a substantial piece of professional and individual work on a subject-specific topic at a high level.

 

4.1.         You and Your Project Supervisor

•             The role of the Project Supervisor

You will be allocated a Project Supervisor whose role will be to offer you strategic guidance during your programme of study.

The Project Supervisor will act as a guide and ensure that you are aware of the quality of your work and progress (or lack of it). The Project Supervisor will give formative feedback and be responsible for the first marking of the project. 

Support will be offered usually via face-to-face tutorial meetings, booked in advance, between you and your Project Supervisor.

A key to the success of any programme lies in the relationship that is established between you and your Project Supervisor. Therefore regular contact with, and feedback from your Project Supervisor will be a major factor in ensuring that you successfully complete the project.  For this reason a clearly defined timetable for student-tutor meetings should be agreed together with an agreed schedule for your Supervisor to review draft work. This timetable may need to be revised as the project proceeds.

You should follow these simple guidelines to ensure that you get the most from each meeting with your Project Supervisor:

•             Book appointments with the Project Supervisor in good time

 

•             Send an agenda of issues for discussion, together with any relevant draft work before the meeting, allowing time for the tutor to read it beforehand

 

•             To follow up the meeting,  prepare a brief action plan and send a copy to your Project Supervisor

Once the focus of your project has been agreed you should work closely with your Project Supervisor.  However, remember that you will be the primary author of your project and your Project Supervisor will offer guidance and advice. They will encourage and challenge you, offering constructive criticism in order for you to gain a deeper understanding of the subject in an attempt to enhance the final outcome.

•             Student Expectations

You can expect your Project Supervisor to:

•             Have an understanding of your general chosen project area

•             Be familiar with what makes an acceptable project

•             Be supportive and helpful – but honest!

•             Read draft work sent in advance of meetings (usually at least 24 hours)

•             Be available for appointments that are arranged in advance

•             Be informed if the booked appointment needs to be cancelled or rearranged

•             Be constructively critical (this criticism is aimed at helping you improve the project)

•             Offer appropriate information and suggested reading

•             Give up to 10 hours support

10 hours will go a long way if you send the Project Supervisor, in advance, an agenda and any draft work for comment.

•             Project Supervisors Expectations

The Project Supervisor will expect you to:

•             Keep in contact with them

•             Follow an action plan

•             Maintain a contact log  (see appendix 3)

•             Be an independent learner and think for yourself

•             Prepare for supervision by setting an agenda for the meeting

•             Take and follow advice offered by your Project Supervisor

•             Be honest when reporting feedback

•             Be interested in the work for its own sake rather than just to get a qualification

 

Ultimately as a student you are responsible for:

•             Planning and managing their time and workload in order to complete the coursework by the submission date, giving due consideration to the background work/ research required for each of the sections 

•             Undertaking an analysis of the health care management issue, using relevant management tools to identify the specific issue the project will focus on

•             Undertaking a scoping review of the academic literature to determine the feasibility of the project

•             Completing an CU ethics application and gaining ethical approval for the systematised literature review of the project Carrying out the project

•             Completing the systematised literature review following using a clear and structured methods, that are documented and summarised using the PRISMA flow diagram (downloaded: http://www.prisma-statement.org/PRISMAStatement/FlowDiagram)

•             Drafting, editing, proof-reading the different sections of the project in producing the final dissertation

•             Presenting the project in an approved format

Please note: The Project Supervisor will not read endless drafts of the project or its chapters.  The Project Supervisor will not read through the final written draft of the project before submission. 

Many Project Supervisors take annual leave over the summer break, so you will need to take this into account when scheduling meetings during this period.

 What to do if things ‘go wrong’

Occasionally things will go wrong between a student and their Project Supervisor.

Your first point of contact should always be to your Project Supervisor by a visit, email or letter stating what you believe to be the problem. It is expected that good communication and subsequent discussion will resolve any issue in the majority of cases.

If however:

-              the Project Supervisor does not respond within a five working days (subject to them not being absent from the University) and you are unable to contact them, or

-              discussion with your Project Supervisor have not resolved the issue to your satisfaction, please discuss your concerns with the module leader.

 

 

5.            PROJECT FORMAT

All projects must contain the following (this is not meant to be a list of required chapter headings but rather a checklist of items that must somewhere be covered)

•             Front cover page (see appendix 1 for the template)

•             Title page (see appendix 2  for the template)

•             Table of Contents

•             Glossary of Terms & abbreviations

•             Numbered and labelled appendices

 

6.            COURSEWORK ASSESSMENT

•             Coursework 1:  9000 word (± 10%) project proposal

                                                SUBMISSION DATE:  By 1800 on Wednesday 11th August 2021

•             Coursework 2:  20 minute (±10%) Individual narrated PowerPoint Presentation of no more than 15 slides.

RE-ASSESSMENT: If your project or individual presentation is referred, the Programme Assessment Board may permit reassessment of the module (see also page 13 under ‘Late submission or non submission’). You are advised to read the University Regulations for rules concerning the maximum mark that may be awarded for reassessed work).

 

7.            PROJECT GUIDELINES

The Postgraduate Professional Experience Project provides an opportunity for you to draw on, and demonstrate, your learning from all the modules you have studied across the programme. 

It will enable you to demonstrate your understanding of project management and the tasks of initiating, planning, executing, controlling, and closing the work of a team to achieve specific goals and meet specific success criteria.

The focus of your desk-based project topic for 7009SOH will have emerged from the organisation in which you were based as part of the Postgraduate Professional Experience modules (7007SOH and 7008SOH), discussions with your mentor and must relate to the degree subject being studied.   For the purpose of this module the project focus will have emerged following a critical analysis of the organisational issue identified.  You are therefore required to either submit:

 

A comprehensive evidence-based ‘business’ proposal to take to a Board/ management committee that makes the case for a new service or service improvement, innovation or the introduction of an innovation or technology for the benefit of patient/ service user care or employee welfare, related to the organistation in which you were located for the professional experience.  The proposal should use evidence from the academic literature to critically argue and justify the rationale for the implementation or change.

Remember this is a desk-based project and not a proposal for an empirical study or require you to collect primary data.

 

For ethical reasons, all proposals should aim to benefit the population/ customers/ service users of the organisation or staff employed by that organisation, providing some justification for its implementation
