Before beginning your research project, you need to decide how to design a study. This panel discussion workshop will give you a brief overview of various types of research using field surveys, secondary data analysis, and laboratory experiments.

This session takes place on Wednesday, March 22, from 1-2:00PM. Be sure to register for Research Types and Methods and then join when it’s time!

This semester’s workshops are off to a successful start, thanks to the effort of the workshop leaders and organizers, and of course to the curious and lively student participants!

Next in the workshop schedule is Using OpenLab for your Research Project, led by Prof. Reitz and the OpenLab Community Team, who will support student researchers by showing how to communicate about and display research via OpenLab.
