Doctoral College webinar, “The Importance of your Research Question(s)”

The UL Doctoral College Webinar Series for PGRs continues Friday, 9 October at 12-1pm with “The Importance of your Research Question(s)”. 

In this webinar we will examine how a good research question, ‘the single most important element of the thesis’, helps to direct your PhD and allows your research to sustain momentum from literature review to contribution to knowledge.

Additionally, we will highlight how your research question will determine design, methods, datasets, and boundaries—decisions that make the work achievable within time and resource constraints.

We’ll also focus on the differences between strong questions that are focused, help guide data collection, researchable, feasible, and original; versus weak questions that are broad, vague, or opinion-seeking.
