B. Ethnographic fieldnotes
Due Week 10 (November 6).Ethnographic Fieldnotes
Visit a Computer Science learning environment (broadly understood), jot fieldnotes, and process them into observations and interpretations of the Computer Science learning which took place. Rather than writing these up as a formal report, please submit your (cleaned-up) fieldnotes in a format which distinguishes between observations and interpretations. Additionally, prepare a five-minute slide presentation sharing several interpretive findings along with the observations they were based on. Sketches and photos are great to include if possible.
Assessment criteria
- Observations. Clear, detailed observations which "get close" to the activities being observed.
- Interpretation. Your assumptions, questions, responses, and reactions to observations, informed by ideas from the course and aware of how your positionality affects your experience.
Presentations
Watch 'em now, because these are only going to be up through the end of the course!
