Testimonials

Abdullah Bargo

I am Abdullah Bargo medical student who lives in Khartoum Sudan in the past I had many problems in the research methodology course at my school but when I watched Dr. Greg's videos which were flexible, affordable, and relevant to the material of the course I could not imagine the person that I have become.

Alicia Cortright

I'm Alicia, an epidemiologist living in Canada. My career path took me into field work in East Africa for a number of years and after recently starting a new position with a research focus, I was looking for a refresher course on research methodology. Dr Martin’s course "Introduction to Research Methods" was an ideal fit. The videos were well-paced and engaging. Dr Martin gave just the right amount of detail – enough to refresh my memory and add to my understanding, and to point me in the right direction for things that may need a deeper dive. I particularly enjoyed the discussions of study design and research ethics. I left the course feeling confident that I could design, implement, and share research at a professional level. I’ve already recommended the course to others and plan on taking more courses myself.

Simon M.

I made a late-age career change and ended up working in a research field. Enrolling in this research methods course has been really good for my academic career. Dr Greg Martin provided a great curriculum that covered a wide range of methodologies, giving me the confidence and expertise to tackle my research projects. This course has not only improved the quality of my research but also opened up new opportunities for collaboration and publication.

Bret P

I must say, before I took Greg Martin's research methods class, I was freaking out about all the different methodologies out there. I had no idea how to design an effective research project. But man, this course really turned things around for me. Seriously, if you're looking to up your academic or professional game, you gotta take this course. Trust me, it's worth it.
