Answer to Question 1

Answer: The ideal answer will include:
1. Field notes: May consist of daily events, a personal journal, and any other notes.
2. Audio and video recordings: They are invaluable but in some instances may be resisted by the studied population, or their use may be restricted for identity protection or other ethical concerns.
