The scientific method - an online course
An online course of 6 modules in which students gain experience with philosophy of science, methodology and research within a specific domain (meteorology). The different disciplines are intertwined so that they reinforce each other. In the first 4 modules, the students go through a research cycle, answering a research question per module. In the last two modules, the students work on their own research project. In module 5 they develop a research plan and in module 6 they carry out the research and report on it. Peer interaction is an essential part of the online course. Registration/account needed (free).
