Share your claims and observations/field notes with your peers.
What did you count as observable data? Reflect on how priming forced you to focus on certain points of evidence, and made you de-prioritize others.
Provide feedback to your classmates about the claims and evidence they used. Consider what conclusions (claims) could be drawn based on your evidence, and what additional research or data are needed to make those interpretations.
Think about a project that you are interested in taking on (for example, your Capstone project). Identify a community, group, organization, or space that you might complete your project with(in). What groups of people you may need to consider collecting data from (interviewing, observing, surveying, etc.)?
What kinds of data you might have access to within that community, group, organization, or space? What preliminary research design activities do you need to consider before taking on the project?
