Today I made a new friend

I was concentrated working on analyzing the interviews I did for my research design project, and there he was.

Photobucket
He looked at the coding work I did so far,
Photobucket
read about analyzing qualitative data,
Photobucket
and then looked carefully at my data.
Photobucket
He even examined the lamp I used for doing a simple user test. And right at the point where I was hoping he would start writing my project report he said goodbye and flew away.

It was a short friendship…

    Darn! Too bad he didn't do your report for you! But hey, at least he didn't leave you to work on Quantitative date--that's much worse.
    And you'll always have these pictures to remember him by. : ]

    Ohh qualitative data. I love research. My university focuses more on quantitative research, but I love learning about both regardless. I'm glad you had a little friend to help you along! :)

    @ Chandra: hahaha, yes you do have a point there ;) I should appreciate it for what it was worth.

    @ Beckie: Yes, and I will cherish them forever.. (I like doing qualitative data better as well)

    @ Sara: I would say the focus within my faculty is more on qualitative research and 'research through design' methodology. But I agree that it's always good to learn about a wider scope than simply what people around you are doing.

    @ Loulou: Yes he does :) But I guess I have so many polka dotted items that everything around me kinda does :p

    @Mariana: I think they do.. Perhaps I will be lucky while writing my report on my own (doesn't feel that way yet ;) )

    @ Elina: Haha good idea! (I actually just searched on Facebook, but couldn't find him.. only some kid who didn't even look like him)
