Today, I spent time reviewing current course syllabi from EDUC F65 (the entry level research methods course on the master's level) and EDUC 663 (the entry level research methods course on the doctoral level). I learned this material by studying the requirements for each class. My goal was to get reoriented as to how these classes are currently organized and taught. I also wanted to get a sense of what concepts were most important for inclusion on my online study guide.
The course syllabi were provided to me by classmates in my EPPL 714 class who have recently completed the courses or are currently enrolled. Both classes are currently taught by Dr. Kyung-Hee Kim. One thing that surprised me about each syllabus was how much they are focused on application of material, as opposed to just memorizing terminology and formulas. However, it makes sense since we will need to use these resources as we pursue dissertation research and other forms of research in the future. It also reinforced my belief that students would be benefited immensely if they had access to study guide materials and resources prior to taking the course.
In terms of how I could have learned this course requirements differently, it would have been useful to also consult Dr. Kim directly to discuss assignment requirements and preparation techniques for each course. I plan on doing this shortly and feel that it will better inform my planning for the website. For others, I think it would also be of greatest benefit to speak directly to research methods faculty members to get a sense of what is expected for each course.
