Sensory Log - Reflection Paper (due Thu 8/22)

The reflection paper is a summative assessment with threefold intent: 1) the instructor will look for student’s nuanced distinction between qualitative and quantitative data collection methods, 2) depth of sensory uptake, and 3) the student’s reflexivity in a collaborative learning setting.

• Name and date sensory log was recorded
• Sensory Uptake: Outline the process you followed when collecting your sensory data: What did you do? Which senses were more prominent to you? Which senses were more easily described and recorded in the log? Which results surprised you?
• Description of and distinction between qualitative and quantitative data Was your sensory log mostly qualitative or quantitative? Was the log you reviewed mostly qualitative or quantitative? What similarities and differences did you notice between your log and the log you reviewed? What could be done to make the descriptions in the log more quantitative?
• Analysis: Interpret what the results mean. Why do you think you (or others) got the results you (they) did? How did sensory perception influence your results? What might you do differently the next time you collect sensory data and why? Do your results suggest anything about the need to rethink your collection methods? Why?
