课程概述

This MOOC is about demystifying research and research methods. It will outline the fundamentals of doing research, aimed primarily, but not exclusively, at the postgraduate level. It places the student experience at the centre of our endeavours by engaging learners in a range of robust and challenging exercises befitting SOAS, University of London's status as a research-intensive university and its rich research heritage. The course will appeal to those of you who require an understanding of research approaches and skills, and importantly an ability to deploy them in your studies or in your professional lives. In particular, this course will aid those of you who have to conduct research as part of your postgraduate studies but do not perhaps have access to research methods courses, or for those of you who feel you would like additional support for self-improvement. There is no expectation that you already have a research topic or project in mind when you begin the course. No prior knowledge or experience in research is required to take this course and as such, the course is for everyone. This MOOC draws on a wealth of existing course material developed to support research training across SOAS, University of London and particularly drawing from the Centre for International Studies and Diplomacy (CISD). In 2015, the course was nominated for the prestigious Guardian University Award for its innovative approach to online learning. Participation in or completion of this online course will not confer academic credit for University of London programmes....

The readings were excellent, and readable 0 which is a plus for a course such as this.The 1 or zero peer-review rating was 'rough' and maybe 0 to 5 to differentiate effort and results in the e-tivity.

It's very basic and discussion type course, you will not be instructed for any research method actually, it's just some discussion of few professors about research methods

It is a good course but should focus more on writing a research proposal as well as the peer-graded assignments should have more factors to depend on while reviewing

I think this course was good. However, the format needs to be further improved. More contents should be covered. This course should have been more comprehensive.

A bit simplistic but useful refresher for understanding research methods. For a more thorough exploration of methodology I might suggest another course.

Beginner friendly and informative but relies on reading material to deliver the key content instead of audiovisual methods which should be used more.

I needed even one feedback from the facilitators, as the only feedback came from peers who were also learning. Otherwise the content was good

It was a useful course, but I hope there were more videos and explanations. Generally, I'm so glad to have finished this course. Thank you!

It was a good course, but it seems that it is more suitable for those who are just starting to learn, to get to know the research method.

As a peer reviewed course, I found many of the 'peers' that I reviewed were not serious attempts at addressing the assignments.

I wholeheartedly support the peer-based reviewing; however, I would have liked an assignment that would have been graded.

I'd offer a more elaborated set of materials in the fourth week, as well as a more challenging and/or real 4th e-tivity.

I just hoped that the course would contain more videos and explanation of the content and not just small interviews.

Instead of interviewing different people, it could have animations and infographics to explain the research methods.

The recording quality is very poor and the course content needs to be delivered in more clear language

It is very short to feel like a real class. Video Lectures are too short too. I liked the readings.
