How to formulate hypotheses? - What are the most appropriate methods for data collection and the relevant statistical tools / tests for data analysis? How to decide on the appropriate instrument for data collection and how to design one? How to analyze and present data? How to interpret data? - What is technical writing and what are the components of a good technical report / theses? How to present ideas in technical writing? Objectives of the Workshop The workshop aims at answering the questions stated above. The workshop faculty is drawn from a pool of eminent professors who have long and rich experience both as researchers in their own individual capacity and as research supervisors at the Ph.D. level. The workshop methodology will employ case studies to illustrate and explain in addition to lectures supplemented by slides and discussions. Venue of the Workshop: PES University, 100 ft Ring Road, Banashankari, III Stage, Bangalore 560 085 Workshop Fee: Rs. 2000/- for full-time Ph.D. students and Rs. 2500/- for those who are employed; Participants will have to make their own arrangements for accommodation and transport.
