This course is the warm-up course for students to understand more about research writing and ethics before they choose their research topic and supervisor. Professors (also potential supervisors), and outstanding visiting scholars who know qualitative method (interview, case method), experimental method (ANOVA, MONOVA), and quantitative method (modelling, regression, SEM, multi-level modulation and algorithm, etc.) from different areas will teach in different sessions. Some guest speakers from industry will also share their viewpoints and insights about business operation and management. This is also a very critical and fundamental part of DBA learning and upcoming thesis writing.
