Research Methods on Youtube!

Students:
As an alternative to reading your ever-so-exciting Singleton & Straits course textbook, or listening to me blather on in class, you might try searching around on Youtube for some interesting finds. I typed in "research methods" and came upon the following:


(1) Summary of empirical research: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W43Di90uYCU

(2) Theories and hypotheses: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nf6X3tauhQc&NR=1&feature=fvwp.

(3) Intro to quantitative research methods: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoQ9Zg8Fvf0&feature=related. This guy is a little dry, but solid. See how what he tells you compares with what I've taught you.

(4) Get a research method (quantitative vs. qualitative): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDo7jwikqqI&feature=related. You'll recognize what this is a spoof of.
