Description
This course covers very basic concepts related to research methods. We will talk about research itself, research methods, research strategies, data collection methods, sampling and literature review.
My lectures are concise and simplified version of the famous W. L. Neuman book, university lectures (Rachel Wilson and Aek Phakiti) and also some other sources.
The most valuable part of this course is my real assignments, which I wrote for Developing a Research Project unit of study at the University of Sydney. They will help you, if you are struggling with your own assignments and don't know how to start.
You shouldn't start this course if you have some prior knowledge in this area.
Who this course is for:
- Bachelor's/ master's degree students who struggle with their units of study
- Beginners in research
- Researchers who are not familiar with the Anglo-Saxon educational culture
