Social Research Methods for Dummies

This course provides a foundational understanding of research methods, perfect for beginners looking to grasp the core concepts. We'll explore the fundamentals of research, delve into various research strategies, and learn effective data collection methods. You'll also gain insights into sampling techniques and the crucial process of conducting a literature review.

My lectures offer a concise and simplified overview, drawing inspiration from renowned university lectures (Rachel Wilson and Aek Phakiti) and the classic W. L. Neuman textbook, alongside other valuable resources.

A key highlight of this course is the inclusion of real-world assignments I completed for the "Developing a Research Project" unit at the University of Sydney. These practical examples are designed to be incredibly helpful if you're currently working on your own research assignments and need guidance on where to begin.

This course is specifically designed for those with no prior knowledge of research methods. If you already have some background in this area, it may not be the best fit.
