Section 1: Meets: 05/13/2024 - 08/02/2024
Course delivery: Online, asynchronous - This course has no meeting time.
Credits: 3
Instructor: Daejin Kim
Course Description: Are you ready to take your research skills to the next level? This introductory course aims to provide an in-depth overview of research design. Whether you're conducting academic research or UX research, this course will provide you with the qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods that you need to run a successful study. By the end of the course, you'll able to design and run a research
study, and recognize when other studies have not beet well-designed. With a variety of HCI-related and design research examples, you'll gain a deeper understanding of research design and its application in the real world.
