This course was a very good introduction. Professor Hirzalla explains QCA very clearly, slowly, and thoroughly. I wish there was a second part to this course.

This course provides a solid introduction to both crisp and fuzzy set QCA, with practice sets at every step, allowing learners to begin applying the concepts immediately and being conversant enough in the methodology and approaches to engage with the literature on QCA.

It is comprehensive and detailed. Yet, it'd be better if it included the introduction of (1) the QCA package in R, (2) concepts of PRI and row consistency to edit and delete rows in the truth table, and (3) the construction of the XY plot that covers all paths.

Very educative. However, it would be better to include more explanations than raw readings.

Great to learn something new. I did think the course was a bit light - I now know what I need to do to perform the analyses, but I am not always sure about the background of a certain procedure. The peer-graded assignment didn't work well for me - no one has reviewed it..

The course is great for beginners. I would like it to be a little more complete, exploring more complex topics, but the complementary readings filled this gap.
