Course description
The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the art of qualitative research. As well as gaining knowledge about the use and effectiveness of various qualitative data collection techniques, students will also become acquainted with the philosophical underpinnings of these techniques and the principles of good qualitative research practice, which they will be able to apply to their own independent research in the future. Upon completion of the course, students will have the ability to design and implement their own qualitative research projects, and to make well-informed intellectual, ethical and practical decisions about appropriate courses of action in all stages of the research process.
