How does research take place in philosophy?
Q. I am an undergraduate student in philosophy, and am considering applying to graduate school. I am very good at philosophy, hence why I decided to take it as a major. However, I am at a loss as to how research takes place in philosophy. All the graduate schools say that one must demonstrate "potential for philosophical research" as part of the application process. I am well aware of the research methods used by scientists, but how would one research, and subsequently produce a dissertation in philosophy? Please don't answer unless you are a graduate student or a professional academic.

How much research experience is best to have if you want to go to a research oriented medical school?
Q. How much research experience during the undergraduate years looks best to have if you want to get into a research oriented medical school or go for an MD/Ph.D progam?
Asked by Rachel - Fri Oct 3 16:00:33 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. First, I don't know of many medical schools that aren't research-oriented, if there are any. If you're going for an M.D., you don't have any reason to do research as an undergraduate unless you plan on a research career. In which case, you'd be better off with a Ph.D. than with an M.D., or with the extra years required for an M.D./Ph.D. Undergraduate research might look good on your application for a highly competitive school, though. The folks I've known who have M.D./Ph.D.'s mostly didn't do any undergraduate research, and the majority of them never used their Ph.D., which means they wasted a lot of time to wind up in clinical practice anyway. The rest never use their M.D., so there's 4 years wasted of memorizing minutiae to pass… [cont.]

A. Because Honda is a publicly traded company, you can get some of their financial reports from the Securities & Exchange Commission through their EDGAR database ( Here is a link to Honda's most recent Annual Report/Form 20-F: You can also find information at Honda's Investor Relations page: Unfortunately, any information that Honda is not required to disclose might prove difficult to find because companies want to guard any trade secrets.

How do you make your research topic more into a research topic and also interesting?
Q. In my women's studies class we have to come up with a research paper topic that has to do with women in the media. I have a paper topic, which is examining how Tina Fey's character on the TV show 30 Rock, goes against gender stereotypes but I don't really know how to make this into a "Research" topic and what a thesis could be. It sounds kind of boring right now. Can anyone please point me in the right direction?

A. your thesis would be pretty much what you said above, that Tina Fey's character on the TV show 30 Rock, goes against gender stereotypes. but the tricky part is not only putting it into your own words. how do you feel about women in the media? answer this question first and honestly. pick about five or more characters and compare and contrast them. Are they all stereotypical or not? How so? Answering these simple yet complex questions will stir you in the right direction in terms of the paper, research many figures in the media and compare and/or contrast those characters with Tina Fey's character. pick maybe two or three others to illustrate your point. your paper can be either how these women defy the stereotypical women we see in the… [cont.]

A. I would suggest you to devise a mathematical model describing any process,use your devised model to make certain predictions and analyze the consistency of the model against actual data. It would be better if you devise a model that describes some time-series variable,and i hope you can easily think of one.As an example ,population growth.Secondary data of such variables are easily available,but collection of primary data is virtually impossible and would need time,i guess you know why.

A. Biomedical laboratory research is a subcategory of medical research. Medical research encompasses all types of research involving medical issues, including field work, clinical settings, survey analysis, statistical study of computerized medical databases, development of optimal treatment protocols, and many other research areas. Biomedical laboratory research is a domain of medical research wherein the preponderance of work is performed in a laboratory setting.

A. That's great that you already have some idea of what you would like to study while in graduate school. I am currently getting my Ph.d in experimental cognitive psychology, and it's been great. Looking for a good graduate school program is very different from looking for a good college. In college, it's all about "how well respected" the school is, but in graduate school, the university itself does not really matter much. If you are looking to get a Ph.d (which I expect, because you listed research interests), the faculty advisor (mentor) you work with in graduate school will be FAR more important than *where* you are at. It's all about finding the right faculty advisor to work with, and that is what you should be making your application… [cont.]

How do I know what research design to use on a Psychology research paper?
Q. I am writing a research proposal comparing the IQ of two different groups. There is no intervention or treatment, just comparing the groups as is...ANY help, as soon as possible would be GREATLY appreciated!
Asked by jdysmom - Sun Apr 22 18:46:27 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Such psychological research would most likely require surveying (to obtain demographical data to aid in developing conclusions on the two groups' similarities and differences) and testing to determine their actual IQ. I imagine this could include using experimental procedures to test IQ, but the more traditional approach to testing IQ is using the appropriate test to survey the two groups.
