Week 14- Post 14

My favorite data source for my mini-ethnography was the interviews that I conducted. I think that I gathered the most information for my fieldsite through these interviews. Also, it was nicer to get the personal opinions from people in the subculture at my actual fieldsite. I wasn’t able to find any academic research about the employees of Whispering Hills Golf Course, therefore the interviews were extremely helpful. I feel that the best piece of writing that I’ve done in this class was the Research Proposal. One of the main reasons for this was because I write better when the paper is divided up into sections. I don’t have to worry about transitions and when writing about a specific topic I can get much more information down. Along with this, the research proposal w/Literature Review was extremely helpful in writing my mini-ethnography. Most of the work that I put down in the mini-ethnography came directly from the lit review. The Research Proposal was probably the paper that I worked the hardest on, therefore I like to think of it as my best piece of writing of this class.
