"The final, main assessment in this course is to develop your own research project which is based upon (a) the work you have done throughout the course on social science research methods, and (b) the reading you have done (and will develop) on migration in Hong Kong."
"... There is no upper or lower word limit. However, of course, the more you reference and the more you show me that you have watched the lectures, read the textbook and read around your topic, the higher your score will be."
