This course will explain research methodologies, both qualitative and quantitative. Qualitative research methodologies include Case Study (R Yin), Action Research, Phenomenology, Ethnography, Dramaturgie, or Documentation Research (historical approach).

The scope of this course material is how students are able to choose the right research methodology with what will be presented in their thesis. Implicit here is what will be presented (generated) in the thesis, the info/data needed, how to get it, how to analyze it,
