Teaching research methods to computer science graduate students presents a number of significant challenges. Of particular concern is the extreme breadth of material that must be covered and the diversity of the students taking the course. This paper describes the implementation of the graduate research methods course at Virginia tech. The primary goal of this course is to improve the ability of research-track students to perform graduate research and more generally to prepare for their professional career (not necessarily in research). A notable feature of our implementation is the use of authentic assignments whenever possible.
