Qualitative Analysis and Writing in Health
Extend your qualitative analysis and writing abilities and confidence
This course extends practical and theoretical knowledge of qualitative research to provide advanced concepts and skills in qualitative data analysis and writing. You should have a basic understanding of qualitative research.
Course overview
In this course you will explore the principles of qualitative analysis, and learn about different analytic strategies and key analytic tools. You will learn how to develop codes and themes, use memos and analytic maps, and interpret data through the process of writing. You will learn about starting writing, structuring articles, making analytic arguments, and editing your own work.
Most importantly, we will consider what it means to think and write 'qualitatively'.
Between workshops, students apply the techniques they learn in class to a portfolio of qualitative data. They receive feedback on each step of their analysis, and after the final workshop produce a polished piece of analytic work. Short course students are not required to complete these assessments. However, hands-on experience is fundamental to learning on this course, we strongly recommend students commit to doing it.
Important: This short course is a variant of the unit of study, Qualitative Analysis and Writing in Health (FMHU5004). It enables you to complete the unit without formal university enrolment. You will receive a certificate of assessment. However, you will not receive credit points towards a University of Sydney degree.
To receive credit points and an academic transcript, please see the Medicine Postgraduate Non Award.
