On researching bicycle-sharing systems...

Published by Mark Bodnar

I understand that some of our Business students are doing a marketing project involving bicycle-sharing systems. The core of that assignment requires primary market research (surveys, etc.), but we all know that secondary research is still important in such cases: to provide the context for the primary work; to learn from the methodologies used by others (sample questions, variable descriptions, etc.); and to avoid re-doing work that has already been done to an acceptable degree.

The way to an "A" leads through your library!

Published by Mark Bodnar

Research has shown that students who make the effort to learn how to efficiently use their library are 94.6% more likely to get an "A"!

OK, I made that statistic up, but I'm sure the numbers are that high... :-)  Learning how to quickly find and use the hundreds of library databases will definitely get you to the best material faster -- leaving you lots more time to focus on the analysis required for your assignments.
