About the Course

In this course you will be introduced to the basic ideas behind the qualitative research in social science. You will learn about data collection, description, analysis and interpretation in qualitative research. Qualitative research often involves an iterative process. We will focus on the ingredients required for this process: data collection and analysis. You won't learn how to use qualitative methods by just watching video's, so we put much stress on collecting data through observation and interviewing and on analysing and interpreting the collected data in other assignments. Obviously, the most important concepts in qualitative research will be discussed, just as we will discuss quality criteria, good practices, ethics, writing some methods of analysis, and mixing methods. We hope to take away some prejudice, and enthuse many students for qualitative research....

I found this a very useful way of getting a basic introduction to qualitative research methods, without just sitting down with some text books. The content was engaging and at the right level for me.

The teacher is really passionate, everything's very clear and easy to understand. It's full of all the basic knowledge one needs to know about qualitative research methods to begin working with them.

Realy good lectures, interesting exercises and fun videos. While the production is not as good as the other courses on the specialization from the Univ. of Amsterdam, Gerben Moerman is extremely enthusiastic and teaches very clearly. The downsides are the abscence of any kind of support from the team (where are those Forum moderators UvA?), some little explained topics (the ethics discussion is very shallow), and an overcomplicated exercise in week 5 (assignment D, took me 3 weeks to get the energy to finish it). I'm also disappointed that this course seems like a "drifting ship", with no helmsman/woman to guide it. There is a general sense of lack of supervision (see the blatant plagiarism), despite most students really making an effort to learn.
