Welcome to this free courseware module ‘Fundamentals of scientific research’!

This module is taken from the OUHK course SCI S330 Scientific Research Methods, a five-credit, higher level course that is part of the the Bachelor of Science in Applied Science (Biology and Chemistry) degree programme offered by the School of Science and Technology of the OUHK. This course introduces you to the basic principles of scientific research methods, and enhance and develop your ability to understand and perform independent scientific research.

SCI S330 is delivered via a blended approach to learners and comprises five study units. Each unit contains study content, activities, self-tests, assigned readings, etc for students’ self-learning. This module retains most of these elements, so you can have a taste of what an OUHK course is like. Please note that no credits can be earned on completion of this module. If you would like to pursue it further, you are welcome to enrol in SCI S330 Scientific Research Methods.

This module will take you about six hours to complete, including the time for completing the activities and self-tests (but not including the time for assigned readings). Owing to copyright issues, textbook and assigned readings are not included in the free courseware.

Good luck, and enjoy your study!
