Qualitative Research Seminar Tonight

The GSA sponsored Dr. Bobby JeanPierre to present a short seminar on conducting qualitative research. It was exactly what I needed at exactly the right time.

She reminded us to do some things I already knew to do, reminded me of some things I should already have considered, and gave an idea for a matrix. She described a matrix aligning research methods (i.e., interviews), purpose, and research questions. She suggested keeping this matrix visible so as not to go off track duing the research.

I'm going to need to use her handout to review my proposal before my defense. The walls of my study will be completely covered with handouts, reminders, and mind maps before long.
