The Research Process, Problem and Proposal notes

These notes cover research questions, literature reviews and proposals. Overview of Scientific Method sets out stages from finding a topic to analysing data. Other notes consider how to choose a researchable topic, while the proposal notes on animal body condition assessment show a specific starting point for a thesis.

Reading and revising

Start with Research Methodology (AAHR03) - Overview for a concise introduction to the characteristics of research. Then read the notes on stages in research, which consider choosing a subject area and checking whether there are enough resources for it.

As you read, jot down the stages and explain each one in your own words. Compare your list with Overview of Scientific Method, then look at the problem statement and literature review notes for an example involving professional mountain guides. When you want a visual sequence, switch to a mind map on the unit page; use a quiz there to check your recall. Pick a set of notes and make your own summary.
