This is a broad and accessible handbook in qualitative methods that gives you clear and concise answers to these questions – and many more. The book can be used both in introductory university courses, where you as a student encounter questions of method for perhaps the first time, right up to Master’s thesis level.
At the beginning of writing a thesis, many questions arise, for example:
• How do I know that I have formulated a relevant research problem?
• Have I chosen the right empirical method?
• Are interviews or observations appropriate?
• How should I structure my text to get my point across in the best way?
• What exactly is a theory?
• How can the quality of my work be assessed?
