Opis

This book is composed of a collection of research studies conducted by undergraduate students at Qatar University, on a variety of civic issues in Qatar. Data were collected during Fall 2018 and Spring 2019, as a part of First Year Seminar course. In particular, students worked in small groups and examined different issues related to the Qatari community, which increased their awareness of societal problems, highlighted their role as active citizens and prepared them for a responsible life. In addition, throughout the research work, students gained basic research skills including conducting literature review, doing in-text citation, developing online surveys, and writing references. The book is prepared to encourage and introduce students to the empirical research methods, keeping in mind that most of the students conducted these studies were in their first year in college, even in their first semester. The target audiences include college students, faculty members, and researchers.
