Introduction to Empirical Research (MT)

BeginnersSpecial

This module is for anyone considering studying on a CaRM module but not sure which one/s to choose. It provides an overview of the research process and issues in research design. Through reflection on a broad overview of empirical research, the module aims to encourage students to consider where they may wish to develop their research skills and knowledge. The module will signpost the different modules, both quantitative and qualitative, offered by Cambridge Research Methods and encourage students to consider what modules might be appropriate for their research and career development.

Please note: This module has pre-recorded lectures which students need watching before the live workshop session.

Click the "Booking" panel on the left-hand sidebar (on a phone, this will be via a link called Booking/Availability near the top of the page).

Moodle is the 'Virtual Learning Environment' (VLE) that CaRM uses to deliver online courses.

CaRM instructors use Moodle to make teaching resources available before, during, and/or after classes, and to make announcements and answer questions.

For this reason, it is vital that all students enrol onto and explore their course Moodle pages once booking their CaRM modules via the UTBS, and that they do so before their module begins. Moodle pages for modules should go live around a week before the module commences, but some may be made visible to students earlier. You will receive a link to the Moodle page for your module in the booking confirmation email, and a code that you can use to self-enrol onto the page.
