Teaching quantitative research proposal writing at Medunsa

8 and 9 August 2011 I have been teaching quantitative research proposal writing to Doctor of Public Health students at the School of Public Health of the University of Limpopo, Medunsa campus. The first day the focus was on on the elements of a research proposal (research problem, objectives, methods). The second day on the characteristics of randomised controlled trials. I gave lectures, the students discussed case studies and also presented elements of the PhD proposals that they were working on.
