This week's webinar (on Tuesday, 1 March 2011) is entitled "Selecting
and Designing Your Research Methods" and will be presented by Breck
Bowden, Patrick Professor of Watershed Science and Planning and Director
of the Vermont Water Resources and Lake Studies Center, University of
Vermont. Once you have a well-designed research question, the next step
is to select and design research methods that will effectively address
your research question. This webinar will focus on how the selection of
methods is influenced by the nature of the research question and context
of the research. This is the second part of a two part series looking at
designing research questions and methods.
