For the e-text, the interviewer clearly shows and demonstrates how much more information we could obtain by simply asking questions in more of a subjective manner compared to objective. In other words, the interviewer tries to make the interview more sociable, so that the interviewee has the freedom to express more instead of just answering yes or no, because the more an interviewee is able to express themselves, the more the question will be answered in various aspects. Also the information that were obtained were more colorful, in ways that they the interviewee might answer or bring up other important information that never crossed your mind to ask.
The e-text also mentioned about observation, which I think is very important in doing a field research. I think that, every little observation taken down to be incorporated into the essay will make an essay even more interesting, because by describing every single detail creates an ability to bring the reader back to that situation you have experienced and see, feel, or even touch what you did. Facts obtained from observation are as important as how we felt, noticed or experienced which makes a field research even more successful.
Since unit 2 heavily relies on interviewing and observations, I believe that this e-text is a very important tool in helping me in my research paper. Especially the double entry note taking technique which differentiate between facts and how I think or feel. This e-text also gave me ideas about how to form questions and gave me an alternative method in doing research for my paper.
