    This research course was helpful in clarifying research concepts I missed or had difficulty understanding in my class. It provided support as I conducted my research as it is accessible and easy to grasp. Learning at my own pace also helped me manage my learning and it was most fulfilling. I highly recommend this course to those who have so much on their plates because of work and study.
