Qualitative Methods for Quantitative People (with GenAI) is a course designed for individuals with a strong quantitative background who want to explore the power of qualitative analysis through the lens of Generative AI (GenAI). This course introduces foundational concepts of qualitative analysis, guiding learners through the process of interpreting concepts, experiences, and nuanced data. It emphasizes how qualitative insights complement quantitative methods, enabling more comprehensive decision-making.
Throughout the course, learners will gain hands-on experience in using Large Language Models (LLMs) for tasks such as data-driven decision-making, resource allocation, and qualitative interpretation of complex information. They will explore real-world scenarios, leveraging AI to extract insights from surveys, documents, and discussions, ultimately fostering better collaboration and a deeper understanding of diverse data sets.
Key topics include qualitative versus quantitative analysis, leveraging AI for creating living documents, navigating biases, and maintaining human oversight in AI-driven processes. This course is ideal for those looking to enhance their analytical toolkit with qualitative methods supported by cutting-edge AI technologies.
By the end of the course, learners will have the ability to integrate qualitative methods into their existing workflows, improving how they approach decision-making and resource management in dynamic environments.
