About This Course

Writing your first research proposal

This course covers very basic concepts related to research methods. We will talk about research itself, research methods, research strategies, data collection methods, sampling and literature review.

My lectures are concise and simplified version of the famous W. L. Neuman book, university lectures (Rachel Wilson and Aek Phakiti) and also some other sources.

The most valuable part of this course is my real assignments, which I wrote for Developing a Research Project unit of study at the University of Sydney. They will help you, if you are struggling with your own assignments and don't know how to start.

You shouldn't start this course if you have some prior knowledge in this area.

  • Learn how to write a decent assignment for research methods unit of study

  • Formulate their research question

  • Understand the differences between research strategies

Yes, it was, it cleared up questions I had from before and I loved the humour and personalised experiences Juila shared to clarify her lectures. I also loved the clarity on where to find the readings and the opportunity to work on some potential research questions for feedback.

Ms. Khukalenko is simply terrific. Her overview of this wide-ranging topic is incisive and very, very smart. But she also has a friendly, good-humored nature that makes it all easy to understand. Definite recommend!
