EPPS6347 - Qualitative Research Practicum

EPPS 6347 Qualitative Research Practicum (3 semester credit hours) This course builds upon EPPS 6346 Qualitative Research Methods as students use the research design they create in that course, or one created in another course or a newly created design, to conduct interviews, focus groups, observations in the field, or to analyze content of field documents. Prior to this, students use their research design to prepare their IRB application to conduct their field research. The instructor will provide individual, hands-on guidance as students prepare their applications and, after gaining approval, as they gather data in the field, analyze, and interpret them. Students are encouraged to conduct research related to their qualitative or mixed methods dissertation or Master thesis. Prerequisite: EPPS 6346 and instructor consent required. (3-0) Y
