to write a 5,000-word capstone project paper.
The course opens with an outline of the nature of social
research. Particular emphasis is given to the diverse circumstances in which it
is carried out, the variety of purposes it may serve and the controversies
surrounding it. The different sorts of ‘product’ that can result from research
(descriptions, explanations, evaluations, theories) are characterized, along
with the different demands that these make on the researcher and their
implications for the criteria that are appropriate to the assessment of
research.
The second part of the course deals with problem
formulation, the logic of research design and decisions about how many cases
will be studied and how they are to be selected.
The next part of the course deals with acquisition and
construction of data.
Data analysis is the subject of the fourth part of the
course, beginning with the analysis of relatively unstructured and then more
structured data, secondary and primary, from interviews, observation and
documentary sources. The principles of both qualitative and quantitative
analysis are explained, and the critical analysis of text is examined.
The last part of the course is about writing research
reports.
