1. Methodological memos: These memos contemplate changes in your research design or approach to data collection.
Ethnographers and students of ethnography (My Freshman Year)
HOWEVER, Ethical Issues in Ethnography Research:
1. Can a researcher who has not fully disclosed her identity record any of her own personal experiences in her field notes?
2. Can she publish these accounts?
… As one reviewer of the manuscript suggested, ethnography should rely primarily on what natives say and how they say it. (My Freshman Year)
ISSUE 2: To keep my identity unknown, I can send my thank-you’s only to first names… There is one person I can thank with a full name (p. xi).
2. Analytic memos: Relate to emerging data from research participants garnered from interviews, focus groups, observation, analysis and other forms of data collection.

THREE ANALYSIS STRATEGIES
- Step #1: Data analysis in qualitative research consists of PREPARING and ORGANIZATION the DATA
- Step #2: Reducing the data into themes through a process of coding and condensing the codes
- Step #3: representing the data in figures, tables, or a discussion.
3. Faith reflection: Given the focus of this course and the role that field notes play, please include in your field notes, ways in which your faith tradition and values function as a lens in your observations, interviews, and other aspects of the research process.
(My Freshman Year)
“I felt that the world I wanted to penetrate would be precluded if I were imply an interested professor “doing research” on students. I decided then to become a student by formally applying to the university, by registering for an taking courses, and by moving into a dorm- hence setting the stage to view undergraduate life as both an observer interviewer and a participants” (p. x).
The comments of the authors are related with Philippians 2:5-11:
5 You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.
6 Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to.
7 Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, 8 he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross.
9 Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father (Philippians 2:5-11, NLT).
