DED 6045 Research Methods for Water Programme, (3 Credits) Instructor: Dr. Olivia Sylvester, Academic Year 2022-2023
ACADEMIC YEAR 2022-2023

In this course we will critically examine research methodology. Our course is designed to take student sequentially through the process of thinking about and designing research. Together, we will explore the basic structure of research and examine the philosophical origins of different research approaches. I will guide students as they learn to link different information-gathering methods to different research approaches. My emphasis will be on qualitative research methodology. Furthermore, I believe that learning about methods requires analyzing how these methods have worked (or not) in real-world case studies; thus, in class discussions of current case studies will complement workshops and lectures
