I shared a course on Research Methodology with aother colleague in Autumn 2021. Different people have different ideas about this course, so I have chosen to add to the general confusion. Below are presentation slides from the lectures -- most of them do not require further explanation and may be useful to someone learning from a similar course. Also included is the final assignment.

• Introduction and purpose

• Finding a research problem -- Intuition

• When intuition fails

• How to find information

• Writing a scientific paper

• Tips for writing a paper

• Submission and journals

• Types of journals

• Revising and replying to reviewer

• Examples of poor refereeing

• Social impact and ethics

• Examples of unethical research

• Plagiarism

• Scientific Fraud

  
  

• Final assignment topics
