[In depth interviews, fewer . Survey
questions, more respondents]
Spend class session
asking ourselves why we went into sociology and
what we’re going to do with it? I.e., Interview
ourselves and distill that into a
sociological survey form to ask all the other
sociology students?
design the
questionnaire so that a quick and effective
survey could be completed, data collected,
and presented on, say, 3 graphs. Steps:
a.
clear, simple questions.
few in depth or many survey
b.
Decide on methods of data
gathering
i.
Video tape
students with their answers
ii.
Xerox ?? 300 questionnaires
and put them in the Soc office or
distribute to classes to get
responses.
iii.
Emailing 10 students each and
getting replies from them
2.
Formulate the hypothesis:
what is the hypothesis? Students go in to
sociology as a means to participate in healing
society
3.
If vision is too ambitious to get
done, break it down and leave a part
of it for the students who come in the next
cohort to continue , e.g., when they
graduate, what types of jobs do students obtain?
5.
Then fulfill the survey by
distributing tasks.
a.
Collect and collate the data
b.
Edit the data if video
c.
Contact A Lonergan, Soc major,
for her paper on same
