151466400 RESEARCH METHODS AND PROJECT DESIGN ( 3 Crd.Hrs )

This course trains students in the principles and practice of research in translations studies. Students develop skills needed to access the research literature, evaluate the design of research (and the different research methodologies that could be used), and understand research ethics, and then write up their findings for academic and/or professional audiences. Students demonstrate their mastery of these skills by handing in a research proposal. For those on the thesis track this can be a first draft of the thesis proposal they will later submit. Students also learn to use productivity tools for the management of research (and translation) projects.
