Seminar 7 Summery
Good morning, Professor. I lost track of time last night and only realized it when it was 7:30pm so I didn't
want to get credit even though I missed the first half. I want to stay honest about my work. So, I am sorry
for not attending. I'm sorry you were tired I hope you got a good night's sleep. I was wondering if with
the final paper can we include an autoethnography section. I really think that is beneficial to research
papers. I have never had experience with the Federal Judicial Center. Actually, I am a trained mediator,
and it has never been brought up in any of my training. I have not thought about my research design, but
I really need to get on it. My understanding is qualitative is more social and gives context to data where
quantitative is more hard numbers. Stats v chats is very clever. I would probably use a mixed method
regarding my research project. I think a year would be sufficient for completing my research. I stayed
away from globally for my research project because cultures are so different worldwide what is
considered abuse and what is acceptable is so very different. I had to look up morbid jealousy I had
never heard that phrase before this class. I think the only thing I can bring from my prior course is the
literature review, a lot of this is new. Well, we talked about it but it was not done as formal assignments.
Thank you for going over everything in seminar. I hope you have a great day.
