Reseacrh Methodology discusses how a particular research is designed, carried out, and reported in a formal report in the form of a manuscript ready for publication. Class discussions include the introduction of scientific investigation into physics problems that is performed in structured and systematic methods on the basis of data collection and processing, data acquisition and analysis, reliable for producing appropriate findings as part of problem solving in physics. Within this context, reliable data are those obtained from any of physics measurement, which meet scientific criteria: objective, original, accurate, and precise. During the course, students are introduced to types of research in physics, corresponding methods usually used and analysis of possible erros and uncertainty in measurements. Students are also given a chance to explore some recent publications in physics by summarizing and presenting it in class.
