1. Also study the blog note on the onion model.

2. Note that the agile literature review approach utilizes evaluation research a lot.

3. Visual research methods are mainly studied by Housing Studies students, not MBA students.

Some students might also consider to do hypothesis testing; in this case, study the e-resource blog on hypothesis testing.
