The last lesson

This day is a last lesson of Social research method. We have a discussion and exchange of experiences in studying process. I have an opportunity to interview Eric and know more about his process of choosing the topic and research method.
His topic is:”線上遊戲玩家知識分享與自找概念形成資研究”. He wants to know more about the differences between the life in game online and real life. He believes that most of the gamers feel the life in game is very free, and the real life in society is not attractive. The research method that he uses is qualitative method, observation and interview are used in this study. Otherwise, he also wants to know the influences of the game online on the real life in society. I think this is an interested topic, I have heard about troubles that caused by game online in our life and I also want to know how the results of research will be.
The second topic in last class is also an enjoyable subject. This time, I am interviewed by Big wolf. He asks me about five theories in research method that I understand best and five theories that I do not understand. This is really a chance for me to share my studying with other classmates. I can talk something about problems that I have not yet understood clearly in research method. In addition, I am moved by Bigwolf’s questions about difficulties in my studying in Taiwan. In a moment, I feel there is a person who wants to share those difficulties with me. Thanks for Bigwolf’s questions.
