Building on the introductory methods course, this course reinforces the basic qualitative and qualitative tool set, including rapid appraisal, participatory appraisal, formal surveys, team ethnography, and so forth. The course further introduces the use of GIS, remote sensing, and other techniques into development problem solving (e.g. in community vulnerability mapping). This course also focuses on the skills needed for the management and analysis of qualitative and quantitative data using standard software packages, as well as the professional interpretation and presentation of findings. Students will apply these techniques to data collected during the previous summer field practicum, in this way integrating the applied field experience into the classroom. Student teams research projects, in collaboration with community partners.
