This subject gives students an understanding of methods of research. It combines lectures with opportunities for first-hand experience. Lectures include choosing a topic, fact finding, assessment of information, problem definition and bounding, problem solving, project planning, forecasting and report writing. This is supplemented by practical sessions in the use of a major research library and especially its resources (abstracts, indices, computer databases), and problem solving (synetics, brainstorming).
