Above section meets with CMCL C507. This course may be taken for credit in
place of  F523 Fieldwork. The course will concentrate on learning the skills
needed to conduct qualitative research with an emphasis on culture and
especially on the performance of particular topics or events.  These skills
are designed to enhance an awareness of cultural factors in research; to
learn to elicit the kinds of information, texts, or performances relevant to
one's research; to observe formal events; to identify contexts and other
variables; to comprehend the unfamiliar; to utilize technology; and to
process one's research materials into useful data.

Students will be expected to observe actual events, to attend activities, to
interview real people, and to write papers on the subject.  Some activities
will take place as a class and others must be carried out individually.

The course will have written papers for each of the projects the class
undertakes (observation, interviews, etc.)
