FAQs
How do I enrol in IFN006?
Enrolment occurs automatically from commencement, providing IFN006 is a unit requirement for your course. Contact the QUT Graduate Research Centre (GRC) if you have questions about your enrolment at hdr@qut.edu.au.
Do the workshops need to be taken in order?
The optional workshops stand alone and can be completed out of order or sequentially. However, the workshops do take a systematic logical approach, starting with the introduction to the unit in Workshop 1, addressing Assessment 1 in Workshop 2, and looking at Assessment 2 in Workshop 3.
Can I do IFN006: AIRS if I'm not enrolled in a QUT course?
AIRS is (1) an open source set of online topics and resources in research skills and knowledge, and (2) the QUT unit IFN006. As someone not enrolled in a QUT course requiring IFN006, everything on the website is available to you. You can engage in the topics and use the learning resources in video, MP3 and PDF. You can confirm your learning with the quizzes. However, assessment and, therefore, accreditation is not available, unless you are or will also be enrolled in QUT course with the unit IFN006.
Can I be excused/exempt from doing IFN006?
IFN006 is a mandatory coursework unit for Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Master of Philosophy (MPhil) and Education Doctorate (EdD) students. Exemptions (Advanced Standing) are valid if IFN001 or IFN006 have been completed within the last five years at QUT. For example, if you completed IFN001 in a previous QUT HDR course such as IF80, and then within five years enrol into IF49, you will be eligible for an exemption. If IFN006 is required as part of your course, you will be automatically enrolled into the unit by the Graduate Research Centre (GRC).
