Subject:

Description:

This course introduces students to qualitative communication research methods and emphasizes those methods grounded in the human sciences tradition. We examine the kinds of questions researchers ask, the assumptions about human experience that are beneath those questions, and the relevance of the research findings to our everyday lives. Working alone or in small groups, students conduct research projects using unstructured interviews, lived-experience descriptions, and/or participant-observation. There is a strong emphasis on the process of writing up qualitative research. Prerequisite: COM-117 or COM-237. WRITD, Fall semester.
