Hello and welcome to my course! I have been teaching research methods at the college level for over a decade and have identified several areas where most students starting the research process get stuck! This course was designed to help you get "unstuck" in your research efforts! 
In my Practical Research class, I do not focus on how to write a thesis statement - there are plenty of resources on the internet that already do a good job of teaching that. Instead, we start at the beginning with the research "idea" and research "topic". Then, following my step-by-step method, quickly flesh out an outline that you can easily follow and complete. I have had hundreds of students successfully get their research started in as little as 90minutes!
So, if you are tired of staring at a blank page or screen and you are ready to get started on your next research paper, project, or proposal, you are in the right place! I look forward to your success, and I'll see you in the course room!
Respectfully,
Dr. Matthews
