RES 1700 - Research Methods for Practitioners


Students advance their understanding of how research is conducted and used by critically examining different types of research.  A survey of qualitative, quantitative and mixed-method research approaches will be reviewed with an emphasis on identifying the fundamental components of different research designs.  Critical reading and writing skills are developed through reviewing and synthesizing different types of research in one's field.  Ethical issues related to the design, publication, use and application of particular types of research are considered.  Students will create a presentation that illustrates their understanding of using research to support an evidence-based practice or a scholarly argument.
