Conduct field research and keep a field journal
Your field work for this project should include a minimum of 2 hours of on-site observation (and/or participant observation). Throughout this process, you will need to keep a field journal to record your notes. Your field journal may be hand-written or typed. This journal may be organized in whatever fashion is most useful to you, but regardless of format, it should include the following components:
• Clear labeling (i.e. date, time, and location of observations)
• Consistent pseudonyms to identify the people involved
• Detailed descriptions of the activities that you observed and/or participated in
• Clear differentiation between your observations and your own personal reflections
