I found the Advanced Certificate in Library Research Methods to be a solid course that provided a good foundation in research methods. The instructor was knowledgeable, and the course materials were well-organized. I appreciated the opportunities to practice my research skills through assignments and quizzes. One area for improvement could be the addition of more international examples, as some of the case studies felt a bit too focused on Western contexts. Nevertheless, I gained some useful skills and insights from the course, particularly in terms of how to design and conduct a research study. Overall, it was a worthwhile investment of my time, and I'd recommend it to others looking to improve their research skills.
