Interesting presentation. The ideas about how to derive interview questions following observations was enlightening. Based on the reading, I found the distinction between root imagery as a holistic experience of noticing and visual perception to be quite interesting.
ReplyDeleteI found Dr. Lee's presentation to be very helpful. I found her example of how data can be changed depending on the person giving the questions or by the setting was very true. It's important to be sure that your questioning and surveys are done in a manner that will not influence your data collection. Research is a difficult process and Dr. Lee's views were interesting.
