AP Research Project – Reflective Individual Report and Poster Presentation
This assessment is the Advanced Practice (AP) Research Project for the Engineering and Environment Advanced Practice London Campus Research Project module. It is designed for postgraduate students undertaking an independent research project with supervisory guidance. The assessment provides an opportunity to reflect critically on the research process, knowledge gained, professional development and challenges encountered during the project. Students are expected to demonstrate independent learning, research skills, critical thinking and the ability to communicate complex ideas in a professional context. The main assessment is a 3,000-word Reflective Individual Report, which contributes 80% of the module assessment. The report is structured around four key areas. The first section, Finding a Research Topic, requires students to explain how and why they selected their research topic, the research tools and search strategies used, the library collections explored, their research aims and objectives, and relevant discussions or recommendations received from their supervisor. The second section, Professional Activities, focuses on reflection on research development activities, scheduling, the independent researcher role, challenges such as time management, and communication with the supervisor. The third section, Literature Review and Research Work, requires students to critically review relevant literature, discuss their research method, demonstrate major research activities and consider the feasibility of the selected method, including challenges and recommendations. The final section, Reflection of Research Project, requires critical reflection on personal strengths and weaknesses, continuous self-development and the relevance of research activities to the student's programme of study and future career. Areas such as decision making, problem solving, communication and influencing, technical skills, collaboration, innovation and proactivity should be considered. The second component is a 10-minute Poster Presentation worth 20% of the assessment. The poster should provide a balanced combination of visuals and text and present the research objectives and significance, a summary of the literature review and research method, key research findings, and conclusions and recommendations. The assessment also requires appropriate academic presentation, including a cover page, table of contents, page numbers, figure and table captions, numbered headings and consistent formatting. Harvard or APA referencing may be used. The report is submitted through Turnitin and is subject to anonymous marking. The assessment is a Pass/Fail module, with students required to achieve at least 50% to pass.

Students are expected to work independently while receiving supervisory guidance. The reflective report requires students to demonstrate critical engagement with knowledge discovery and reflect on their educational development in relation to the challenges experienced during their research project. The report is structured around four main areas. The first section, Finding a Research Topic, is approximately 500 words and requires students to explain their chosen topic, why it was selected, the research tools and search techniques used, the Library collections explored, the research aims and objectives, and relevant discussions or recommendations from their supervisor. The second section, Professional Activities, is approximately 500 words and focuses on research development tasks, scheduling, the independent researcher role, challenges such as time management, and communication with the supervisor. The third section, Literature Review and Research Work, is approximately 1,500 words. It requires a critical review of relevant literature with appropriate citation, discussion of the research method and major research activities, and consideration of the feasibility, challenges and recommendations associated with the selected method. The fourth section, Reflection of Research Project, is approximately 500 words and focuses on achievements, contributions, strengths and weaknesses, continuous self-development and employability. Students are expected to reflect on areas including decision making, problem solving, communication and influencing, technical skills, collaboration, innovation and proactivity. The second assessment component is a 10-minute poster presentation. The poster should provide an overview of the research activities and communicate what the student learned during the research process. It should balance visual and textual information and include the research objectives and significance, a summary of the literature review and research method, key research findings, and conclusions and recommendations.

Interim Report: Systematic Literature Review Research Protocol
This postgraduate computer science assignment requires students to prepare an Interim Report establishing the research protocol for a systematic literature review. The assessment focuses on whether the proposed research question is suitable for computer science research, clearly formulated, appropriately motivated by existing literature, and capable of being investigated through a systematic review. The main body of the report must not exceed 500 words, while supporting evidence may be provided separately where appropriate. The report is structured around three main chapters. Chapter 1 introduces the selected research area and summarises the purpose and structure of the report. Chapter 2 provides relevant background and a brief history of the chosen research domain, identifies the problem being addressed, and supports the discussion with at least two relevant academic citations. Chapter 3 presents the formal Literature Review Protocol, including the research question, its context, and the associated PICO elements: Population, Intervention, Comparison and Outcome. Students must also develop and test a Boolean search string using IEEE Xplore and report the number of papers returned by that search. The search strategy is accompanied by explicit inclusion and exclusion criteria governing which studies will be considered for the review. The supplied protocol template requires students to document these elements through two structured tables: one covering the research question and PICO framework, and another recording the search string, paper count, and study-selection criteria. The assessment places significant emphasis on methodological consistency. The research question, PICO elements, search strategy, paper count and inclusion/exclusion criteria must align logically with one another. Students are also assessed on the justification and motivation of the research question, document structure, presentation quality, spelling, grammar and academic referencing. The report must include a title page, table of contents, bibliography and the required research-protocol tables. Harvard referencing is required for both in-text citations and the final reference list. Overall, the assignment develops the foundational skills required for conducting a rigorous systematic literature review, including research-question formulation, structured evidence searching, transparent study-selection procedures, academic justification and professional research reporting.
