Qualitative Research and Joy

The purpose of this blog is to creatively fulfill an assignment for CNEP6384 Qualitative Research Methods (Fall 2006, Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi). I'm taking this class to fulfill the research methods requirements of my doctoral degree in Library and Information Science (Texas Woman's University). Since I work at the library at TAMUCC and travel to Denton for many of my classes it's a nice change (not to mention cost effective!) to take some classes at TAMUCC.

The assignment:

"During the furst month of school, take at least 6-8 photographs for a visual qualitative research project entitled "Joy." Photos will be presented and analyzed in class."

and

"Keep a reflective journal from August 28 through November 13 making at least one entry each week on the subject of "Joy." Journal will be used in learning qualitative document analysis."
