This is paper about a behavior or social interactions that interest you. Consider where you might observe the interactions and behaviors. How might you gain access to the site? Would you conduct an unobtrusive, reactive or participant observation?
1. Develop a method of data collection (e.g. taking notes during or after, photographs)
2. Go to the location, observe and collect data.
And then for paper, describe your insights and awareness related to both the topic and the process. Some things you might consider:
- What did you learn about the behaviors of interest?
- What was it like gaining entry to the site and collecting data?
- What challenges and questions arose when completing this assignment?
- How might you use observation in the future?
