It seems like the only thing that happens quickly in academics is delivery of a desk/editor rejection of a paper you've submitted. Otherwise many or even all things move at a much more gradual pace......

I was fortunate enough to view some very fine graduate student presentations earlier this week. These represented 'practical' or field work placements. Perhaps surprisingly, most incorporated some aspects of qualitative inquiry via focus groups, interviews, and/or observations. Perhaps less surprisingly, our students in this particular degree receive no required training in qualitative inquiry and have only recently had access to an elective course (that I could not talk any into taking).
This results in 'on the job' training in qualitative methods, and the outcomes vary depending on the experience of and guidance provided by the field work supervisor. |
