Comments from the evaluation of the Qualitative Research Methods Workshop with Dr Emily Hansen (UTAS) held in Adeliade May 2009
"Encourages me to contemplate doing some qualitative research and further education"
"I found this workshop exceeded my expectations and I learned a substantial amount of new information that I felt able to assimilate. I I appreciated Emily's breadth and depth of knowledge and the opportunity to think about it all in relation to both post research and future possible topics"
