We will discuss and provide instruction about how to manage and analyse qualitative data without the use of computer software. Participants will gain practical skills, including asking open-ended questions and setting up data coding sheet

The course is aimed at students and researchers who are in the early stages (who have either recently or not yet begun to collect data) of the research process. In registering, applicants are asked to provide a brief overview of their current or intended research, so that practical exercises can be designed to facilitate development of their research interests and design if possible. Please send the overview direct to Dr Anne Wilson Places are strictly limited.
