Qual Research Methods Sdev · Earth Institute
I learned about qualitative research methods.
How to conduct a social research project -- really great precursor to the SDEV thesis
Overview of qualitative methods and actual, on-the-ground experience of how to run a qualitative study
What kinds of research can be conducted in a qualitative way, and skills to conduct qualitative research.
I think that this is a class that everyone in Sustainable Development should take, especially earlier on in their time. I think that the skills that are learned in this class are applicable to other classes throughout the major that we are asked to take as we get closer to graduation. I think that Professor Dale was super good about presenting the information.

It is a lot of work, with two ongoing timelines (learning methods and actually putting them in practice as your project), 1 Columbia University: Arts & Sciences Fall 2021 Course: SDEVGU4101_001_2021_3-QUALRESEARCHMETHODSSDEV : SDEVGU4101_001_2021_3 - QUAL RESEARCH METHODS SDEV Instructor: Lisa Dale
Learned how to conduct qualitative research: interviews, surveys, observation. Learned how to disseminate research with poster, presentation and report.

A lot of about conducting your own qualitative research project!
