RESR-3001Research Methodologies
In this foundational course, students develop core skills for designing, evaluating, and communicating research across academic, technical, workplace, and community contexts. They will examine qualitative, quantitative, mixed-method, and Indigenous research methodologies, with emphasis on selecting approaches that align with research purpose, context, and available evidence. Students will explore how research questions are formed; how data and information are gathered, analyzed, and interpreted; and how findings are communicated responsibly. Students will critically evaluate sources, apply methodological reasoning, and consider ethical dimensions as they develop a research methodology for a proposed project relevant to their own field of study.
