Ethnographic Observations

Non-participant observation

In order to understand the current experiences and behaviours of people as they order and consume their food or drinks in fast food restaurant, a non-participant observation was conduct, and the activities of people and their interactions were documented by taking field notes only (no pictures/videos). 

The following is a brief summary of what I have observed and the reflections I have on the emerging themes.

Instructor's Comments

"The detail captured and structure you’ve used to present information for this section works well. You’ve captured a lot of detail about how people interact with each other, their objects (e.g., menus, phones), and their environment. That’s great! "

"Reflection: Lots of detail in the reflection; overall very strong. "

"Emergent themes Actionable and clear; very good."
