This week's webinar (on Tuesday, 1 March 2011) is entitled "Selecting and Designing Your Research Methods" and will be presented by Breck Bowden, Patrick Professor of Watershed Science and Planning and Director of the Vermont Water Resources and Lake Studies Center, University ofVermont. Once you have a well-designed research question, the next step is to select and design research methods that will effectively address your research question. This webinar will focus on how the selection of methods is influenced by the nature of the research question and context of the research. This is the second part of a two part series looking at designing research questions and methods.
