About this course
PD13: Research in the Workplace introduces students to the importance of research across disciplines and workplaces. There's more to research than doing a few tests and writing about what happened: you have to review other work in the field and understand its impact, conduct your own research in a responsible way, and share your findings with audiences who may not understand your work. You'll also likely work with researchers from other disciplines who'll enrich your work with their expertise and alternative perspectives.
Research literacy is also critical for anyone interested in reading about groundbreaking studies in newspapers and online. PD13 gives students the tools they need to perform their own research and critically consume work done by others.
Students who take PD13 can also count the course towards the completion of their Co-op Research Certificate.
