Methods Surgery

The Methodology Institute is now offering a walk-in “Methods Surgery” where staff and students can drop in with methods-related problems for which they seek advice. Two members of staff, representing both quantitative and qualitative backgrounds, will be present during each session to help with a potentially large range of methodological problems. The focus is on methods, not software, since there is a separate “software surgery” offered by a joint effort by CLT, Library, IT Training and Methodology Institute. In addition to the “Methods Surgery”, the Methodology Institute is starting to compile a knowledgebase, online accessible at http://lsemi.webfactional.com/helpdesk/knowledgebase.php| , where frequently asked questions are posted along with detailed answers. The “Methods Surgery” is offered weekly during term (no Surgery week 4 due to MI event) on Thursdays 10-12 in COL8.13. This service is based on a first-come, first-served policy: no appointment is necessary.
