Assessment 2: Qualitative Research Skills Portfolio

You will complete different practical tasks and situations each week. Tasks must be written up and independent learning and reading undertaken and recorded as a workbook, and you will get verbal feedback about your personal skills progress regularly. This assessment will develop your ability to observe in real life settings, teach you how to collect data and then how to handle and analyse the data. It will require you to be reflective about your progress and be analytical each week. Each task is equally weighted.
