Fall 2024 · DHP D235M · Tufts University · 1.5 credits · Undergraduate

This is the introductory research module for Masters and PhD students, and is the foundation for Fletcher’s ‘Research Track.’ This module prepares students to come up with a draft research proposal that will be more fully fleshed out through a detailed exploration of qualitative and survey methods in subsequent modules. Research Module 1 has the following goals: - to learn how to conceptualize and write up the design for any research project, - to provide an overview of qualitative, quantitative, and ‘mixed methods’ - understand case studies from different social science perspectives - to develop a critical awareness of what constitutes sound empirical research and what does not.
