Field Research or Chapter 10

Chapter ten is about doing and using field research to further learn about your topic. It argues that despite the growing trend in using field research as only a  means to fill in the holes in your topic you couldn’t find elsewhere, it is in fact one of the best tools you have when it comes to learning about your topic. A section of this chapter covers interviewing, another observing, and still another surveys. There are several good tips in this chapter on conducting each one of these types of field research and in what seems to be a growing trend TAKING NOTES CAREFULLY is still a very important part of the process. Although this chapter does a good job at introducing these methods for my particular topic I don't see much use I can take from it, though I am now considering setting up an online survey perhaps on Facebook. I just need to figure out how to implement it into my research.
