Annotation

Last update: Mgr. Anna Shavit, Ph.D. (01.09.2023)

The course aims to provide detailed information on qualitative and quantitative methods. And try out forms of media analysis within the Center for Media Studies (CEMES).
The methodological seminar is a joint course for Czech and English Ph.D. programs. However, the course splits into a Czech and an English part after the common introductory lesson. There will be online joint seminars via Zoom with Dr. Ormrod and Dr. Sheets Thibault, and students must also complete analytical assignments in their classes. On top of that, to complete the course, it will still be necessary to prepare an analysis at the Center for Medical Studies (CEMES).
