Research Methods, a topic that elicits sighs from most students when it is announced as part of the syllabus, but why is this?
Fiona Cullen and Ryan McKay from St. Mary's wholeheartedly disagree with the viewpoint that research methods are boring. In fact, they have proven the exact opposite by demonstrating to our students, through a talk and workshop, how research methods serve as tools for discovering insights into how and why humans behave as they do.
During the session, our students delved into Fiona's work on smoking practices among young people and adapted the research to be relevant to a contemporary issue - vaping. We can confidently say that no one left the session with the perception that research methods were boring!
