Assessment methods and criteria
|
Oral exam, Dialog
Requirements for course completion: <LI> A) Creating a research design for qualitative research and its implementation The student chooses a qualitative research problem (ideally as a follow-up to his thesis) and prepares a qualitative research design. Defines the research objective, research questions, chooses an adequate research tool and method of analysis. The individual steps are continuously discussed in seminars and are aimed at developing the student's methodological competences for the preparation and implementation of qualitative research. It will test the implementation of simple research including correct data analysis (e.g. coding), it can be used as a pilot study for research for a diploma thesis. Submission deadline: continuously (no later than the exam date) <LI> B) Attendance at classes. In tolerance 1 absence. <LI> C) Oral examination in the scope of the areas defined by the syllabus.
