Description:

Qualitative research methods involve the observation and study of people in their everyday lives, in their taken-for-granted worlds.

This course in qualitative methods is designed to acquaint students with field research theories and techniques. Students will gain hands on experience in participant observation, interviewing and the use of sociological scholarship. Qualitative Research Methods will prepare students to gather data, focus the data in a social scientific manner, analyze the data, and then organize it in reportable form.
