CERIC Method Foundations Course 2 (CM-F2)

The first paid course in the Foundations program: turn the five CERIC elements into a repeatable method you can run on any research article. Prerequisite: Course 1 (free).
Description
Course 1 introduces the five elements of the CERIC Method — claim, evidence, reasoning, implications and context. Course 2 turns them into a working method: a repeatable way to take a research article apart, capture what matters, and write it back up in your own words.
