Description

Welcome to the course “Research Methods (A Step-By-Step Guide)."

As the name goes, the course has been designed to provide the maximum assistance you need step-by-step in your research activities.

Having taught in the UK and abroad, I have designed the course to meet the requirements of universities and colleges, and in some cases superseding the requirements. Every undergraduate and postgraduate student will find the course useful for the development of research knowledge, research skills, critical analysis and how to present an argument in an academic way.

The course has been designed to make research activities easier and visible to students. It consists of 30 lectures. Total duration of the course is 3 hours 31 minutes. The average lecture is 7 minutes long, a bitesize for easy assimilation. It covers research activities starting from the desire to do research to the point of data collection. These activities will help the student to lay the foundations for research and other studies in the Universities and Colleges.

In a nutshell students will be introduced to quantitative research, researcher attributes and the tutor in Lectures 1 – 4. Lectures 5-8 teach how to generate research ideas and refine them to become research topics. How to do a critical literature review is taught in Lectures 9-13. In lectures 14-17 students learn how to formulate research questions, hypotheses, aims and objectives for a give research topic. Research philosophy, approach and plagiarism are taught in Lectures 18-20. The student is taught how to apply the information and knowledge he/she has gathered from the previous activities in her work. Lectures 27-30 will prepare the student for data collection.

Lecture mode of teaching is used with an emphasis on a step-by-step guide. Questions and answers are used to stimulate the brain. Teaching material includes excerpts from the work of past students as examples. We highlight the areas where students make the most mistakes in research projects like dissertation/theses and similar assignments, and provide step-by-step guidance on how to avoid the mistakes

The following categories of students have benefitted from the course:

• Students who write dissertations/theses

• Students who study Research Methods as a unit

• Students with little or no research experience

• Students who can follow instructions

If you belong to any of the categories, the course is for you.
