Dear Professors,
What courses should be covered during the first year of PhD which would help the scholar become an effective researcher and a teacher, capable of completing the PhD and also pursue a fruitful career in academics? Here are a few suggestions. Please feel free to add more with justifications.
1. Philosophy of Research
2. Quantitative Research Methods
3. Social Research methods
4. Data Analysis
5. Research ethics
6. Academic writing
Looking forward to insightful suggestions.
Thanks a lot.

Umagiliya Gamage Chaminda Lakchan Thanks for the recommendation. Can you please suggest any additional courses based on your own experience? Thank you for sharing.
Also qualitative research methods, but then a scholar could decide to incorporate both quantitative and qualitative research methods, called "Mixed Methods". A good knowledge of descriptive and inferential statistics or regression analysis is also relevant.
Dr sir,
I think above mentioned are very impressive i think sir both qualitative and quntitative research methods.should be added.since i have seen most reseaechers are specializing for a one section hence i suggest qualitative method too..
Umagiliya Gamage Chaminda Lakchan Thanks so much for your response.
Two more topics, which are mostly neglected leading to lots of issues in PhD research are
1. Research Design
2. Deconstruction process for identifying right variables
