Overview
The third assessment is a Portfolio task that demonstrates students’ competence in collecting, analysing and interpreting qualitative.
Step 1: Students must select 1 example of qualitative data that they generated in workshops/tutorials (I will submit the table that I made, with this paper). Analysis of reports used for Assessment 1 & 2 CANNOT be used.
Step 2: Students are required to write 500 words for data set that ‘tells the story’ of the data they have presented. This should include:
– How the data was generated (summary of method- I conducted an interviewed the student in my group to answer the research question).
– Their interpretation of the data i.e. what does the data SHOW/MEAN? How does it answer the research question? (analysis)
– Suggestions for how the findings could be used e.g to inform policy, identify patterns in social phenomenon
Step 3: Present the data sets directly below each 500 word written component. Data sets should be presented as Table and labelled appropriately with Table number, Title, and Source Statements. The written component of the portfolio is not an essay so an introduction and conclusion are not needed. Students may use headings to organise their response. Reference to academic sources is not required. A reference list is required for data sources (if applicable). The reference list is not included in the word count. Learning outcomes: 3 & 4.
This the table from part of my interview,
You may want to use some of the min your analyzing. Then you can make a change on the table( depend on how many that you used).
Please don’t forget to put the research in your work.
Because it is just 550 words, please be careful of the word chose.
Use academic words and avoid using extra words
Thank you
