About the Course
In this course, Dr Rosie Nelson (University of Bristol) explores research methods comprehension in sociology. In the first lecture, we think about what a research method is, differentiating it from a methodology. In the second lecture, we think about the differences between quantitative and qualitative research. In the third lecture, we think about different sources of data when gathering from participants. Next, we think about the use of materials like documents and other forms of media in qualitative research. In the fifth and final lecture, we think about primary and secondary data and methods.
