Assignment 3

We have had some questions about the next assignment. Most of you were not able to do any observations related to your master¡¯s (or PhD) topic and find some of the questions unclear how to answer. The main point of this assignment is to take a step back and reflect on what you have learned about qualitative research methods, about being a reflexive researcher, and to practice using the curriculum you have read thus far to discuss your experience and reflections. The questions in the assignment are meant to encourage you and help you get started.

Therefore, you may use this assignment as an opportunity to reflect on how you can use qualitative research in your project, or to take a step back and write more generally about what you have learned so far. Practicing discussing your experiences and understanding of qualitative research methods with the curriculum is very useful as exam preparation.

It is the first time we try out this assignment, so please don¡¯t hesitate to ask questions!
