Research Methods Courses The Reading Department expects you to demonstrate a broad understanding of the design and analysis of both quantitative and qualitative research. You must demonstrate that you are a competent researcher in your selected area, and at least a critical consumer in other areas of research. To that end you are required to take a minimum of 12 credit hours of research methods coursework, and to write a substantive description of the ways your coursework and research experiences have helped you to become competent at conducting and critiquing literacy research. In accordance with university guidelines, research course credits may NOT be counted toward the minimum of 54 credits needed to take the comprehensive exam. If
you expect to do dissertation research involving primarily
quantitative designs and analyses, then 9 credit hours will be
in quantitative methods and 3 credit hours in qualitative methods.
