Why do research?
Because research allows you to pursue your interests, to learn something new, to sharpen your problem-solving skills and to challenge yourself in new ways. And most of all, research skills are transferable skills that will stay with you and help you find the best information for your academic, career, and personal goals. This guide contains tutorials, videos, and resources that will help you gain the knowledge to conduct proper research for your research assignments. After reviewing all the materials in this guide, you will be able to...
