What is your favorite piece of data (or data source) and why?
My favorite piece of data was a source that I found in the database at the library. It was an article in a journal that documented the experiences of many disc golfers. I thought this was terribly interesting and it kept my attention for almost an hour. I loved getting into the stories of other folfers and seeing how their experiences were the same or different from mine. It was really cool to read how they played, their attitudes, how they reacted to weather and bad shots, who they played with and a whole bunch of other stuff! I know that reading those articles was valuable to my mini ethnography because it gave me a very good perspective on things and showed me how I measured up against some of these people. These articles also gave me some outside experiences that I can add in other than the peoples' whom I interviewed.
Surprising, I know: that research turned out to be one of my favorite parts!
