This course explores qualitative method approaches to program evaluation and public health practice. A critical analysis will inform health policy and practice based on methodological approaches most appropriate to the type of evaluation being conducted.

Mark Dolson, one of the best profs in AHS is basically getting fired without reason. Students have already started a petition to try to get him his job back. 87 points, 26 comments
