About this Session
The session aims to cover the groundwork for qualitative research. If you’re asking, what is it? How do you know you’ve done it well? What are the key terms that I need to know? Then this training will help.
We will use some real data including a newspaper article, published data and an interview transcript to work through how we extract knowledge: in ways that will convince supervisors/PhD examiners/journal reviewers.
The course is an introduction, and may well be of value to those who have started their training but lack confidence.
