Welcome to the Research Methods WWW tutorial!

This tutorial is designed to provide a bit of extra material on a variety of topics that couldn't be covered in greater detail during class. You can move through the topics at your own pace, and visit only the ones you feel are appropriate for you. Just click on the title of the section you wish to visit.

Within each tutorial section, there are several Recap Q's to help you focus on what's important. When you answer the Recap Q's correctly, you are moved on to the next topic. If you miss one, you are returned to the top of the appropriate section so you can reread it before answering the question again.

To use the tutorial, click on any of the following sections to learn more about that topic.
