This paper is a reflection and discussion on the major research projects you have engaged in throughout this course:

1. making the familiar strange, 2) observation, 3) content analysis, 4) interviewing 5) surveying.

Research is cumulative process where we are always building on our experiences and enhancing our skills so that each successive project is building on the last.

Discuss how your perspective, skills and experience changed with each project and how those changes effected the next one.  Make note of how you might have done things differently with the knowledge and skills you acquired later.  Finally discuss how the course as a whole has affected your skills and perspectives as a researcher and where this might lead your future perspective.  Pay to attention to your choices and explanations of your methodology for each project.

(This is essentially a walk through or your director’s commentary on the major course assignments)
