Answer to Question 1

Students should identify and explain:
(1) Jotted Notes - field notes inconspicuously written while in the field site on whatever is convenient in order to jog the memory later.
(2) Direct Observation Notes - field research notes that attempt to include all details and specifics of what the researcher heard or saw in a field site, and are written to permit multiple interpretations later.
(3) Researcher Inference Notes - Researchers constantly infer social meaning on the basis of what we see and hear, but not always correctly
(4) Analytic Memos - notes a qualitative researcher takes while developing more abstract ideas, themes, or hypotheses from an examination of details in the data.
(5) Personal Notes - Researchers keep a section of notes that is like a personal diary.
(6) Maps and Diagrams - Researchers often draw maps and diagrams of the field site to organize complex events and arrangements and also to convey the field site to others.
(7) Machine Recordings to Supplement Memory - Tape recorders, cameras, and video cameras can be helpful in field research.
