MP1: Interviews: Group D (unstructured) & Group G (semi-structured) - Note: ALL students expected to attend and to take part in this and all other MP1 Exercises - Roles: - Researchers (MP1 groups assigned the methodology): Practice research protocol on participant volunteers. Post session: write up a reflection of what went well and did not go well and refine protocol for MP1 project. Include in your project binder. - Participant Volunteers: Act as a participant (feel free to make up a persona and act accordingly - be the bear!); at end of session, complete a quick rating sheet. At beginning of next tutorial, hand in a 1 page critique of your experience as a participant and suggestions for improvements. - Observer: Observe the exercises when not acting as a participant volunteer; at end of session, complete a quick rating sheet. At beginning of next tutorial, hand in a 1 page critique of what you observed and suggestions for improvements. - NOTE: Only 1 critique is required to be submitted per tutorial. Please prioritize it so that you maximize the impact of your feedback (i.e., if you were a participant volunteer for 2 groups and the protocol of one group was rougher than the other, give your feedback to the rough group; give feedback in your role a participant volunteer over that as a general observer as it will likely be more detailed) - SUMMARY: 1) end of each tutorial – submit rating sheets (1 per each time being a participant volunteer, 1 for each group observed (summarize all observations for each group on 1 rating sheet); 2) beginning of next tutorial, submit 1 critique |
