Course description and aims
Mainly through exercises, how to proceed with research, survey research literature, read research papers, and make presentation will be learned.
This course is mainly designed for students majored in Management of Technology who have no research experience. First, students are expected to learn what research is, and then they will gain some skills required for research including the critical reading skill.
Student learning outcomes
By the end of this course, students will be able to:
1. understand and explain what research is
2. conduct research literature survey
3. read research papers critically
4. make an effective presentation
