How to do Research 

Research is difficult for people because 
  • they are ill-prepared. 
  • they have the wrong perceptions about what research is. 
  • they have difficulty in formulating a research question. 
  • they have not usually undergone a creative thinking course. 
  • they do not read widely enough. 
  • they do not know how to use the Web for research (or CD-ROMs and the library as well!) 
  • their supervisors do not themselves fully understand the research process and how to best explain it. 
Students new to research must learn how to do research. My multi-disciplinary How to do Research CD-ROM (Windows format) helps here.
