Fall 2024 - I really love this class with Professor Armenta! She was very knowledgeable about qualitative research from her background as a qualitative researcher and makes the concepts very simplified. Assignments are a hefty portion of the grade so I would say hand in your assignments on time. I would also recommend a later discussion time if you want more time with your assignments as the earlier your discussion is, the quicker you have to finish the assignment. Final was very straightforward and fairly easy. I would focus particularly on the readings as it will be discussed often. My TA was outstanding, her grading is fair and fairly lenient so long as you follow directions. Definitely would recommend this class if you are interested in research, even if you are not a Public Affairs minor or major!
