CMST 3311 Qualitative Research Methods
This course is an exploration of qualitative research methods in the communication discipline. Evaluating and designing qualitative, communication-centered research will be a primary focus. An array of qualitative research approaches will be reviewed, including a variety of epistemologies (ways of knowing), ontologies (ways of being/reality), methodologies (ways of examining), and non-numerical representations (ways of writing and reporting) of qualitative data.
