This course builds on a foundational understanding of qualitative designs and measurements to focus on analyses of the data. The weekly exercises take you deeper into the skills and techniques necessary to ensure the appropriate analyses of qualitative data, including integrating relevant frameworks and selecting suitable methods to organize and present the analyses and findings.
