Promised myself to write this blog, just wanting to express my feelings from yesterdays Research Methods lecture. Oh God, all lecture long, I was collecting KeyWord - except when I was playing with my phone LOL- from here and there trying to understand whats what.
Why the hell should we study research methods ? why can't we just do what we have to do without calling it difficult to pronouns words ! Qualitative, Quantitative Bla Bla Bla. I mean how did the first researcher in the world wrote his research ? was it bad ? AAA I DON'T THINK SOO !
Session outcome =2 A4 pages filled with complicated phrases
and things that doesn't make any sense to me !

Sincere question, why do we have to accept other philosopher thinking outcome as the right
way to get things done ?
don't judge me because of my opinions, I'm a good student :$ made notes from this mind-blowing-boring-lecture, and I plan to share my knowledge with you all - LUCKY YOU :D.. so firstly, I'll mention the main terms that you've came across several times during the sessions ..
- AUTOETHNOGRAPHY: is a form of self-reflection and writing that explores the researcher's personal experience and connects this autobiographical story to wider cultural, political, and social meanings and understandings. (1)
- GROUND THEORY: is a systematic methodology in the social sciences involving the discovery of theory through the analysis of data. (2)
- HISTORICAL ANALYSIS
- CASE-STUDY: is an intensive analysis of an individual unit. (3)
Interesting question was asked by Clive:
METHOD: is the series of steps in which you do something with < fancy LOL
METHODOLOGY: the study of method, arguing why a certain method works and whats the reason of choosing it .. does this make any sense ? correct me if am wrong please !
On top of all this we have to prepare a 10 min presentation due next week. I just overcame the topic dilemma and started to feel a bit lighter and happier ! this crushed all the good feeling away !
It's not like I can't do it, it seems manageable ( background about my topic area, the search question/s, the method - how and why-, heuristic enquiry THEN the essay body and conclusion ). I haven't started working on it yet I suppose setting down and putting a focus effort, things will come around.
WISH ME LUCK

Whats the different between Method and Methodology ?
HAH ! as I'd really care ! but of course because I'm a good student who pay attention even in the most boring lectures ! I know the answer :DMETHOD: is the series of steps in which you do something with < fancy LOL
