Course Details
Semi-Supervised Research Training provides a 360-degree view of the research landscape. Our goal is to help develop your researcher-self rather than merely giving the training to analyze data. Our approach is drawn from decades of experience tackling untapped and neglected real-life problems.
This training builds your confidence to formulate research question, develop the protocol, read and critique articles published in scientific journals independently. We aim to shape the thought process and guide the learners to develop their research mindset, which is essential to becoming a successful researcher.
