week 13

End of class.

I believe that I have learned a lot about reasearch methods.
More than what I ever imagined.
It was good to know that there are so many types of approaches
to a problem and different ways of conducting your sudy.

I also learned that eventhough you may be attracted to a certain
methodology, you might need to use a different one to obtain correct or
precise results in your study.

During the semester I felt like the students who were taking the course and were near
the end of their coursework were benefiting more from the course since they had so much
more experience with the different types of research methods.

Now, I believe that It was very helpful for me to take this course during
my first year of my PhD studies. This way I have a better view of what awaits me
and of all the possibilities that are out there.
Plus, it also helps me understand better the types of research that I read and will
encounter through my sudies.

This class has truly helped me understand better the options that I have for conducting research
and has made it less scary for me. This is the first time that I will conduct research with people
observing and collecting data and I was in total oblivion before I took this class. It has helped me
get an idea of what to expect and do.
Thank you.
