HASS Research Writing Intensive Workshop 3: Making Rigorous Description and Justification of Research Methods

Description:

Pursuing a research degree demands a wide array of complex skills. Among them, writing skills stand out as one of the most challenging yet often underdeveloped. We understand the struggles, and these workshops are designed to support our graduate researchers in crafting and completing their thesis to academic standards.

From generating research questions to articulating conclusions, each workshop offers practical skills and guidance for structuring and developing a specific research component (as outlined in the table below). Collectively the eight workshops aim to ensure participants' progression in building a well-rounded skill set to navigate the writing process.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to elevate your research writing prowess and take a significant step toward completing your thesis!

*Each workshop requires a separate registration.

Making Rigorous Description and Justification of Research Methods

Research methodologies and methods are grounded in the scientific and philosophical thinking prevalent and evolving within each field, varying from discipline to discipline. As researchers, it is imperative to describe, explain, and justify our chosen research design as well as the specific data collection and analysis approaches employed. This is crucial to establish the trustworthiness and robustness of our research results for the audience. This workshop assists graduate researchers in articulating their research methods and steering clear of common pitfalls.
