Module Two Overview
Introduction
In this module, you will be working on four key parts of your ethnography. First, you will design a questionnaire based on the “Seven Essential Questions” and a strategy for how you will approach your people group. The professor will give you approval and/or corrections so that you may proceed into your ethnographic project. You will also do two case studies, one on taxonomy and one on epistemology. You will be posting your findings for other students to comment on. Finally, you will provide an outline for your ethnographic project and a bibliography of articles that you have found on the CIU databases that relate to your people group and studying their culture.
Begin this unit by completing this reading. Then, work through the other readings, lectures and assignments in the order that they appear on the course map.
