Research Coach
A focused one-to-one research support session for students and researchers who need practical help moving a research idea or project forward.
About This Workshop
Sometimes you do not need another course. You need focused support to help you think through the next step. The Research Coach session provides one-to-one support for students and researchers working through a specific research challenge. Bring your research idea, question, draft, problem or decision to the session. The discussion can focus on developing a research idea, refining research questions, planning a literature review, considering research methodology, structuring a research proposal or identifying practical next steps.
