Participant feedback: 

As someone who does quite a bit of qualitative research outside a university context, I found it very helpful to step through the interview/ focus group and analysis processes and hear Carol's perspectives as well as those of other class members with academic experience. Much was familiar - and served to refresh my knowledge - but there were also areas where I learned new things - particularly aspects relevant to ethics processes. Carol was very patient and responsive. (September 2021)

 

The course targetted the stage I'm at right now in my PhD research and helped a lot with improving my literacy and deeper understanding of application principles and practices, especially in relation to data coding and analysis. (September 2021)

 

Breaking up the delivery with small group activities was helpful and I think it allowed me to better absorb the content and remain focused. It was also nice to have a chance to interact with other members of the course. (September 2021)​

 

Great balance of content and application through breakout rooms/ group work. (May 2021)

 

The course was well organised, the booklet was written well and delivered in time for me to read it, the presenter is an expert and conveyed her knowledge in a professional and engaging manner. (May 2021)
