  2. What are qualitative research methods? • They include: case studies, observations, and interviews. (other methods exists, but Paper 3 is limited to these three methods) • Random sampling is normally not used. • Purposive sampling is preferable since you may select subjects for their salient features. • The number of participants is generally small, and may be limited to one (case studies).
