Congratulations on getting this far. By now you will have a good understanding of the purpose of qualitative research and have begun to conceptualise the many ways it can be approached.

Next week in the course, we’ll delve into more practical considerations which will help you to:

  • conduct effective interviews
  • formulate strategies to analyse qualitative research data
  • prepare a planning document for your own research project.

Your task

In the comments section, share what you are looking forward to the most next week.
