BA #6 - Late Fieldnotes Reflection


This assignment should be posted to your own blog by 2:30 p.m. on Thursday, 4/7/11.

Purpose and Context

Just as you did for Blog Assignment #4, this final Blog Assignment asks you to take stock of your observations by writing a reflective summary of your fieldnotes as you near the end of your service-learning experience.


Evaluation Criteria
This assignment will be evaluated according to the “plus” system discussed on page 4 of our syllabus. The assignment is fairly flexible and I will accept a broad range of responses. Please be original, but please keep in mind the following criteria:
  • Depth - your reflective summary demonstrates an in-depth discussion of the ways you have been challenged, surprised, intrigued, or disturbed by your observations; or of the issue that has emerged based on your observations; or of an idea or focal point that will be central to your "big" ethnography as a result of your observations
  • Focus and Coherence - your response is thesis-driven (even if that thesis is implicit) and your supporting claims are well organized
  • Evidence and Justification - your response provides sufficient details and puts them into conversation with relevant passages from Fieldworking or from our other course readings
  • Clarity and Style - your paragraphs are well focused, your sentences are grammatically sound, and your writing has a sense of polish, as if you have thought carefully about what you want to say and how you need to say it
  • Blogging Guidelines - your assignment follows these and uses them to your advantage
