Document Summary

Final = 45-50 multiple choice questions, 15-20 marks in written questions (3-5 questions sort of essayish more paragraph), 60-70 marks total, bring a calculator. Complete participant (wolf infiltrating himself into biker gangs, never hid who he was) Gaining entry into the group (ex. through a gatekeeper) Ethical concerns putting into danger yourself and others, look at what could happen, especially in field work (extremely dangerous) Purposive sampling or judgmental sampling non probability sampling are more likely here this is why it"s more qualitative in nature. Empirical observations (take them as you see it) Field journal / part of data analysis. Include as much detail as possible, decide later what"s important. Setting and selection (initial contact is very important) Follow up questions, to get more information out of people. Risks (going native = too involved you become a full participant) Relatively inexpensive (depends on what they have to do) May have an impact on the population and the data collected.
